Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van complete with Wi-Fi a bar a small fridge fine leather chairs a hidden gun compartment and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm no partners no associates and only one employee his driver who’s also his bodyguard law clerk confidant and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun.
Sebastian defends people other lawyers won’t go near: a drug-addled tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; 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 he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial even if he Sebastian has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice doesn’t like insurance companies banks or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system’s notions of ethical behavior.
Sebastian Rudd is one of John Grisham’s most colorful outrageous and vividly drawn characters yet. Gritty witty and impossible to put down Rogue Lawyer showcases the master of the legal thriller at his very best.
