Book Review: John Grisham's gripping new legal thriller Rogue Lawyer
Rogue
Lawyer by John Grisham (Release Date 20th October 2015)
Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. His office is his reinforced bulletproof car
and his clients are not always innocent.
However, when he sees injustice he does his utmost to expose it and isn't afraid to take on fellow lawyers, the legal system and corrupt law enforcement
officers.
However, when he agrees to represent a man suspected of
abducting a police officer’s pregnant daughter, his job impacts on his family
in a way he could never have imagined.
The courtroom scenes are dramatic and compelling with, Rudd portrayed as
a complex character continually struggling to keep a lid on his temper. I found it intriguing when, Grisham allows us
access to Rudd’s thoughts and motivations.
Rogue
Layer is a chilling expose of the US justice system at its
worst and Grisham’s grip on the legal details is impeccable. From his unsettling description of execution
by lethal injection to his knowledgeable portrayal of cage fighting and its
intricacies Grisham is a master storyteller.
Rogue
Lawyer is a fascinating read and fans of legal thrillers will
enjoy this immensely.
