Rogue Lawyer

"Rogue Lawyer introduces readers to a so-called street lawyer named Sebastian Rudd. Or, maybe a better term for Rudd would be “mobile lawyer,” because, ever since his office was firebombed, he’s been operating out of a bulletproof van and not sleeping in the same place for more than a few days. “Mr. Smooth,” Rudd is not — he rubs both criminals and cops the wrong way. But, in hallowed Grisham tradition, scrappy Rudd is the defense lawyer you want sitting beside you in the courtroom when things look bleak. The biggest mystery that Rogue Lawyer poses is how John Grisham, at this stage in his long writing career, can still concoct all these distinctive characters, tricky legal predicaments and clever ways to worm out of them."
