Story
In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing president grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the president issues the pardon only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA. It seems Backman, in his power-broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world's most sophisticated satellite surveillance system.

Story
Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the United States. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die. His heirs, to no one's surprise - especially Troy's - are circling like vultures. Nate O'Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long. His second marriage is a shambles, and he is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab armed with little more than his fragile sobriety, good intentions, and resilient sense of humour.

Story
He was framed for murder. Now he needs someone on the outside to save him. For 22 years Quincy Miller has sat on Death Row without friends, family or legal representation. He was accused of killing Keith Russo, a lawyer in a small Florida town. But there were no witnesses and no motive. Just the fact that Quincy was black in an all-white town and that a blood-splattered torch was found in the boot of his car. A torch he swore was planted. A torch that conveniently disappeared from evidence just before his trial.

Story
Number-one best-seller John Grisham returns with his most suspenseful thriller yet. Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of the USA only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five. I did not know Judge Fawcett, but I know who killed him, and why. I am a lawyer, and I am in prison. It's a long story.

Story
Pete Banning was Clanton's favourite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbour and a faithful member of the Methodist Church. Then one cool October morning in 1946, he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder wasn't shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete's only statement about it - to the sheriff, to his defense attorney, to the judge, to his family and friends and to the people of Clanton - was 'I have nothing to say'.

Certainly no evidence of the fortune they thought he had stolen. He was much thinner and his face had been altered. He spoke a different language, and spoke it very well. But Danilo had a past with many chapters. Four years earlier he had been Patrick Lanigan, a young partner in a prominent Biloxi law firm.

Publisher's Summary
Worldwide best-seller John Grisham goes rogue with his most suspenseful thriller yet....
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. l
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.
Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down, Rogue Lawyer is the master of the legal thriller at his very best.

Good, but Not the Best
It took a while for me to warm to the Rogue Lawyer. The style was different, in that there were multiple secondary stories going on around the main character. At first, they didn't seem to connect, except through the main character's involvement with them. However, at the halfway point (or a bit before), I started to see how things slotted together. Obviously written with the idea of being a series (not sure if more have been written since this one), the book left some things dangling, but these personal/career issues didn't impact the overall satisfaction when the book came to an end. The narration was excellent. Mark Deakins communicated the character perfectly. This wasn't my favourite John Grisham book, but once I got my head around the different style, and picked up the threads, I found it enjoyable. If there are more books in the series, I'm not sure I'd rush to read them or listen to them. The character was a likeable enough rogue, with all his rough edges, but the multi-layered storyline wasn't as appealing to me in this particular instance.

Rogue with good intentions and a soft heart mostly
If you could sum up Rogue Lawyer in three words, what would they be?
Fighting Courtroom Divorce.
Would you recommend Rogue Lawyer to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes. It was good fun and the various plots joined up nicely. The overlay of his family life added well to the complications of the story.
What about Mark Deakins’s performance did you like?
For an American he did very well, but then he is performing Americans.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the Rogue tried to help those who did not want it. And the end.

appallingly lazy writing
Halfway through this I was still waiting for some sort of story to form.
this reads like a collection of discarded scenes drafted for other books that didn't make the cut and were used here with a thin narrative to tie otherwise disjointed material loosely together.
its cynical moneymaking and delivers nothing for the reader.

Disjointed & unoriginal
About a guy who doesn't like injustices wrought by supposedly good guy organisations such as the police; so he uses the law to try to rectify injustices; & uses other means too. OK if your tipple is standard American movie type scripts/ stories. Maybe of interest to the opposite of a chick novel genre group of readers. Starts off with short stories. There's repetition in some of the stories of the same facts eg how the lawyer met his wife. We knew that from the 1 at story. About 2/2 way through the short stories develop a theme running through them all. It gets a bit more interesting towards the end - but I had a big sigh when my device read "7 hrs left" to go. A literary scholar this popular writer is not, in that there is no unique prosaic writing. Lack of any deep, meaningful metaphors that bring another nuance of meaning to the pages. Very blokey type story in my view.
