DESCRIPTION:
He 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.

Robert Bolton said Not Grisham's Best Work, But A Fine Way to Pass the Afternoon. This most recent effort by John Grisham follows an attorney who practices in the Fifteenth Circuit of the United States in federal and state court. His name is Sebastian Rudd and what makes Rudd unique compared to most attorneys is his willingness to accept clients no other attorney would take. These range for an accused child molester/murderer, a rage prone boxer, a crime don eager to escape death row, and a man with ties to human trafficking.

Never again will I purchase a book by this author julia I struggled with whether to purchase this book after his last one was such a disappointment but I gave him another chancethe struggle continued while reading it. I cannot recommend this book and won't be buying any future books by this author. He's become arrogant and boring. The book started to pick up about 3/4 thru andstopped. Disappointing and waste of money and time. (I'm being "kind"). Copycat Michael Connelly did it first and better. In my opinion a rip off of The Lincoln Lawyer
