About this listen

AN ORIGINAL E-SHORT • This standalone prequel to John Grisham’s #1 New York Times bestseller Rogue Lawyer tells the story of how Sebastian Rudd finally found someone he could trust to be his driver, bodyguard, law clerk, and partner.

Sebastian Rudd, rogue lawyer, defends people other lawyers won't go near. It's controversial and dangerous work, which is why Sebastian needs his bodyguard/assistant/sidekick: Partner. So if Sebastian is just about the most unpopular lawyer in town, why is Partner so loyal to him? How did they meet? And what's the real story of this man of few words who's as good with a gun as he is with the law? The surprising answers are all in Partners, John Grisham's first exclusively digital short story.

Critic Reviews

Praise for John Grisham’s #1 New York Times bestseller Rogue Lawyer

“Terrific . . . inventive . . . John Grisham still makes it look easy [with] distinctive characters, tricky legal predicaments and rogueishly cheating ways to worm out of them.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post

“With a blunt, rude, gravelly poetic wiseguy voice . . . Rudd comes across as a kind of twenty-first-century Philip Marlowe.”—Benjamin Percy, The New York Times Book Review

“Deeply engaging and entertaining . . . [Grisham finds] intense drama in the little skirmishes that play out across our legal system every day.”—Charles Finch, USA Today

“Grisham has taken a step in an intriguing new direction.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
