5 out of 5 quills A Review ~~ Rogue Lawyer
By now all John Grisham has to do is show up with another great story. Rogue Lawyer is a whole new direction for Grisham. And I like it….a lot! This isn’t a collection of short stories, as I first thought, and really don’t care for. No, Rogue Lawyer is a day, week and month in the life of street lawyer, Sebastian Rudd. Little vignettes but it doesn’t feel like it….the reader just follows this defense attorney around in a customized bulletproof van (that is his office), 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.
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. Why these clients? Because Sebastian believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial—even if he has to bend the law to secure one.
He reminds me a great deal of one of Robert B. Parker’s characters. I hope very much that Sebastian Rudd drives back into town (one day soon) and continues his dangerous but valiant work defending the indefensible!
