John Grisham: Rogue lawyer (2016)
388 pages
English language
Published Sept. 6, 2016
"On the right side of the law?sort of?Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. His office is a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, and fine leather chairs. He has no firm, no partners, and only one employee: his heavily armed driver, who also so happens to be his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddie. Sebastian drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. He defends people other lawyers won?t go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because Sebastian believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial?even if he has to bend the law to secure one." --Amazon.com.
Entertaining but not exactly the kind of book I'd ever actually recommend to someone
More like a collection of mediocre short stories with the same main character and a couple of uninteresting story arcs that go nowhere. But you won't care anyways.
I haven't read John Grisham in a long time, but I really, really enjoyed this. I loved the characters and the anger that Rudd has for the corrupt system.
Cheap rip-off of the Lincoln Lawyer books but nowhere near as compelling or well-written.
