What this book is about
Sebastian Rudd is a criminal defense attorney who takes only the worst cases — accused terrorists, serial killers, gang members — because the system requires someone to. He lives in an armored van and carries a gun because his clients' enemies become his. Rogue Lawyer is Grisham's most unconventional protagonist — a darkly comic portrait of the system's pressure points.
