THE LAW HAS FAILED THEM. SEBASTIAN RUDD WILL NOT.

Sebastian Rudd take the cases no one else wants.

As a result, his last office was firebombed - either by drug dealers or cops. And things are about to get even more complicated.

Arch Swanger is a criminal lowlife and the prime suspect in the abduction and presumed murder of the daughter of the assistant chief of police. When Rudd agrees to represent him, Swanger lets him in on a terrible secret.

It's a secret Rudd wishes he never heard - and one that will threaten everything he holds dear.

Critic reviews

John Grisham has perfected the art of cooking up convincing, fast-paced thrillers
Leaves one eager for more
No one does it better than Grisham
A master storyteller
Sebastian Rudd is a kind of social justice warrior and Grisham uses him to take jabs at the legal system . . . all with a blunt, rude, gravelly poetic wise guy voice that makes Rudd come across as a kind of 21st-century Philip Marlowe.
Terrific . . . The biggest mystery that ROGUE LAWYER poses is how Grisham, at this stage in his long writing career, can still devise all these distinctive characters, tricky legal predicaments and roguishly cheating ways to worm out of them. It's one mystery we Grisham fans just want to appreciate, rather than solve.
Highly readable, thanks to Grisham's fast-moving narrative skills
The energy is sustained to the end
A riveting read . . . A very satisfying ending
All stars

I had forgotten what a fantastic writer John Grisham is. The reading made this story so enthralling that I could not stop listening. Started listening yesterday evening and only paused to sleep and eat. I've always read the books but now I can wait to listen to the next one.

Absolutely spellbinding.

This is my first JG audiobook, though I've read a few of his books. The cleverly interwoven plots are excellently dealt with, as usual. The storyline is really well presented by the narrator, unlike some books I've listened to where the narrator just doesn't sound right. Full marks for this book.

What did you like best about Rogue Lawyer? What did you like least?

I liked that as per normal easy to listen to fast moving and good characters. I did not like that this was packed out with several small stories and the fact it ended very quickly like he got fed up writing it.

What was most disappointing about John Grisham’s story?

Poor ending no twist

Could you see Rogue Lawyer being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

Probably I am not sure as I am not familar with 2nd rate cable tv stars

Any additional comments?

Even if you love Grisham forget this one its on a par with the Street Lawyer !

Love Grisham not this one

This seems to be closer to a Stephen King book of short stories than a Grisham legal story. A lot of fun.

More like a book of short stories.

Great story, different and interesting sub characters. The main character is very well written. I struggled to stop listening to this book!!

Brilliant!
