On the right side of the law. Sort of.
 
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.

Received from crossingguardpa. Added to my growing TBR pile!

This was a deviation from Grisham’s typical lawyer books. It was sort of several separate stories that I thought would come together in the end but don’t really.

None the less I enjoyed the stories. It was frustrating on the stupidity of some and very sad the treatment of others.

I am taking this book to our monthly bookcrossers meet up at Cravings - the second Saturday of every month- to pass on to the next reader.

Picked up at the April meeting.

Brought this home from Decembers BookCrossing meeting

I quite enjoyed this book which was surprising as it was like a bunch of short stories but in this book it was a series of different cases. What made it different then short stories was there was some carry over from case to case.

Taking this to the June BookCrossing meeting to be enjoyed by the next reader.

Brought this home from the June meet up at Cravings. Thought my son might like it.

Oops - should have been a JE! Not a release. It is after 10 at night, what more can I say.

We are having an outdoors meetup in the rain. Perhaps in the garage? See if I can find any takers for this.

I did not realized I hadn't journaled this book! Mea culpa!

I love legal thrillers and I binged a whole bunch of John Grisham books! This one was great as usual! Thank you for sharing!
