內容簡介

內容簡介 ◎法律驚悚小說之王約翰．葛里遜（John Grisham）力作◎亞馬遜網路書店讀者近七千人四顆星推薦「太棒了……葛里遜仍能寫出鮮明的角色、微妙的法律瓶頸與技巧性從中僥倖逃脫的方式。」－－《華盛頓郵報》「Sebastian Rudd是某種社會正義的戰士，而葛里遜借他攻擊法律系統……一切以一種直率、無禮，聲音粗啞而優美的智者口吻訴說，讓Rudd就好像21世紀的菲力普．馬羅（Philip Marlowe）。」－－《紐約時報》書評Sebastian Rudd不是典型的街頭律師。他獨居於狹小卻十分舒適的豪華高樓層公寓，並在一輛客製化的防彈箱型車裡工作，裡面有無線網路、吧台、小冰箱、高級皮椅，還有隱藏式槍艙。他不隸屬於任何公司，也沒有合夥人，唯一的員工就是他的駕駛，同時兼任保鑣與律師助理，也是他的知己兼高爾夫球杆弟。Sebastian為其他律師不願接近的當事人辯護：不管是藥物嚴重成癮的18歲刺青男，謠傳參與撒旦崇拜，被指控騷擾並謀殺兩名女孩；被判死刑的邪惡黑道老大；朝著誤闖家裡的特種武器和戰術部隊（SWAT）開槍而被逮捕的人。Sebastian相信，每個人都有權利得到公平的審判，即使他需要藉由欺騙的方式，為這些人爭取公平審判。他厭惡正義，也不喜歡保險公司、銀行或大企業；他不信任政府，嘲笑司法系統所謂道德的行為。他招致兩方人馬的怨恨：他的前辦公室遭燃燒彈襲擊，兇手不是毒販，就是警察。他不知道是誰，但他也不在乎。但是事情漸漸變得更複雜。21歲的Jiliana Kemp遭人謀殺。她是助理總警監的女兒，而Arch Swanger是此綁架兼謀殺案的主要嫌疑犯。當Arch Swanger要求Sebastian替他辯護時，他向Sebastian透露了一個恐怖的秘密，這個秘密，將會威脅所有Sebastian珍視的事物……#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Featuring one of John Grisham’s most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters yet, Rogue Lawyer showcases the master of the legal thriller at his very best.On the right side of the law—sort of—Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. 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 so happens to be his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddie. Sebastian drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun. 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. Why these clients? Because Sebastian believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial—even if he has to bend the law to secure one."
