Rogue Lawyer
by John Grisham
Doubleday, NY 2015
February 4 - March 9, 2016

Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer.  He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with wi-fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy.  He lives alone in a small but extremely safe penthouse apartment, and his primary piece of furniture is a vintage pool table.  He drinks small-batch bourbon and carries a gun.  He defends people other lawyers won't go near.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
