About this ebook

'The best thriller writer alive' - Ken Follett

Sometimes you have to fight dirty to get clean.

Sebastian Rudd takes the cases no one else wants to take: the drug-addled punk accused of murdering two little girls; a crime lord on death row; a homeowner accused of shooting at a SWAT team.

Rudd believes that every person accused of a crime is entitled to a fair trial - even if he has to cheat to get one. He antagonises people from both sides of the law: his last office was firebombed, either by drug dealers or cops. He doesn't know or care which.

But things are about to get even more complicated for Sebastian. Arch Swanger is the prime suspect in the abduction and presumed murder of 21-year-old Jiliana Kemp, the daughter of the assistant chief of police. When Swanger asks Sebastian to represent him, he lets Sebastian in on a terrible secret . . . one that will threaten everything Sebastian holds dear.

I enjoyed this book but it is very disjointed. All of the stories get a former of resolution but Sebastian Rudd never gets the win! I feel Grisham will return to this character in the near future. It actually has TV series written all over it! So in short, decent but certainly not a classic Grisham.

I gave up after 100 pages. Plot went NO WHERE. irrelevant and boring details put me to sleep. The book annoyed and frustrated me. I hated it. Complete waste of money.

Deviation from Grishams usual way of Narration but still very interesting. And the hero is someone you won't like much ... different from usual again
