Sebastian Rudd is a lawyer unlike any other—operating outside the mainstream legal establishment to take on the cases that conventional attorneys refuse. From defending accused murderers and death row inmates to representing ordinary people caught in the crosshairs of the criminal justice system, he battles entrenched injustice with fierce independence. John Grisham's latest thriller follows this solitary advocate as he navigates the darkest corners of the law, where standard rules don't apply and the stakes couldn't be higher.
