Rogue Lawyer
Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham, published by Hodder & Stoughton in 2015, presents a unique perspective on the legal profession through the eyes of Sebastian Rudd. This edition spans 344 pages and is written in English.

His unconventional approach to justice often puts him at odds with both law enforcement and the criminal underworld.
In this gripping narrative, readers will follow Rudd as he navigates complex legal battles, including representing a prime suspect in a high-profile abduction case. The story delves into themes of crime, legal ethics, and the personal risks Rudd faces in his pursuit of justice. With elements of mystery and suspense, Rogue Lawyer explores the gritty realities of the legal system and the lengths to which one man will go to defend his clients, even when it means challenging the very foundations of law and order.
Official synopsis Publisher
‘The best thriller writer alive’ – Ken Follett
I’m not a typical lawyer. I don’t maintain a pretty office filled with mahogany and leather. I don’t belong to a big firm, prestigious or otherwise. I don’t do good works through the bar association. I’m a lone gunman, a rogue who fights bad systems and hates injustice . . .
Sebastian Rudd takes the cases no one else wants to take: the drug-addled punk accused of murdering two little girls; a crime lord on death row; a homeowner accused of shooting at a SWAT team.
Rudd believes that every person accused of a crime is entitled to a fair trial – even if he has to cheat to get one. He antagonises people from both sides of the law: his last office was firebombed, either by drug dealers or cops. He doesn’t know or care which.
But things are about to get even more complicated for Sebastian. Arch Swanger is the prime suspect in the abduction and presumed murder of 21-year-old Jiliana Kemp, the daughter of the assistant chief of police. When Swanger asks Sebastian to represent him, he lets Sebastian in on a terrible secret . . . one that will threaten everything Sebastian holds dear.
Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down, Rogue Lawyer is the master of the legal thriller at his very best.
