Rogue Lawyer

A Maverick in the Courtroom

Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham (2016, Hodder & Stoughton) introduces Sebastian Rudd, a one‑man law firm who operates out of a silver bulletproof van. Unconventional yet unflinching, Rudd takes on clients cast aside by society—gang members, celebrities, and the chronically misunderstood—defending them with a blend of raw tenacity and street‑smart savvy.

Justice Teetering on a Knife’s Edge

When a respected pastor is accused of a grotesque crime, Rudd steps into the fray against a media frenzy and a town desperate for retribution. Navigating hidden agendas, corrupt officials, and personal vendettas, he must unravel a complex web of evidence before his client’s fate is sealed. Grisham’s narrative crackles with tension as each courtroom reveal pushes Rudd closer to the edge of moral compromise.

Honor Among Outcasts

More than a legal thriller, Rogue Lawyer explores themes of loyalty, redemption, and the frailty of truth. Sebastian Rudd’s unorthodox methods and unwavering code of ethics make him a compelling antihero whose battles extend far beyond the courtroom. By the final verdict, you’ll be questioning the very definition of justice—and the lengths one man will go to protect it.
