Rogue Lawyer, Grisham - B +

                                                We all know that John Grisham is one of the best writers of the last thirty years. He has excelled continually and does so again. The rogue is Sebastian Rudd, a man who seems a lot like Connelly's 'Lincoln Lawyer'.  He has no office, is very unorthodox, has a driver/bodyguard, has an ex who is a lawyer, and  outfoxes the police and prosecutors at every turn. This, though, is not one story but an unrelated series of tales focused on police and governmental brutality and incompetence. His last book was an effective polemic against Big Coal and I note that recently coal companies and executives have, at long last, run afoul of the law. He is always an effortless joy to read.
