"On the right side of the law. Sort of. Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy. He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table. He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won't go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; 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 he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn't like insurance companies, banks, or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system's notions of ethical behavior" --… (més)
Sebastian Rudd is a defense lawyer and he takes the cases no one else wants. He has a kid with a woman he never should have married and they don't get along. ( )
Sebastian Rudd is not your typical lawyer. He works out of a van and has a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, and only one employee, his driver. Sebastian defends people other lawyers won’t touch. ( )
Sebastian Rudd is one heck of a rogue lawyer. I like a character who goes against the grain and pushes the limits, especially when dealing with the criminal justice system. While he operates outside of the box, he advocates for people and fights the system when the system is wrong. He is a humanly flawed character and he knows his weaknesses. Rudd defends some interesting individuals that often leads to him into dangerous situations. This was a bit of a different Grisham novel compared to his previous and I really enjoyed it. ( )

My name is Sebastian Rudd, and though I am a well-known street lawyer, you will not see my name on billboards, on bus benches, or screaming at you from the yellow pages.

Like so many, this trial is not about the truth; it's about winning.
The road to justice is filled with barriers and land mines, most of them created by men and women who claim to be seeking justice.
