2016 & 2017 & 2024 The New York Times Best Seller
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the master of the legal thriller comes a "deeply engaging and enjoyable" (USA Today) novel featuring one of John Grisham's most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters ever. ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST AND NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR On the right side of the law--sort of--Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. His office is a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, and fine leather chairs. He has no firm, no partners, and only one employee: his heavily armed driver, who also happens to be his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddie. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won't go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because Sebastian believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial--even if he has to bend the law to secure one.
