John Grisham Interview at Book Expo America 2015

Host Rich Fahle interviews John Grisham about his latest books, “Rogue Lawyer” and “Theodore Boone: The Fugitive” at Book Expo America 2015.
FROM THE PUBLISHER (Theodore Boone: The Fugitive):
"Not since Nancy Drew has a nosy, crime-obsessed kid been so hard to resist." -The New York Times
Thirteen-year-old Theodore Boone thought the danger had passed, but he’s about to face off against an old adversary: accused mur¬derer and fugitive Pete Duffy.
On a field trip to Washington, DC, Theo spots a familiar face on the Metro: Duffy, who jumped bail and was never seen again. Theo’s quick thinking helps bring Duffy back to Strattenburg to stand trial. But now that Duffy knows who he is, Theo is in greater danger than he’s ever been in before. Even when every¬thing is on the line, Theodore Boone will stop at nothing to make sure a killer is brought to justice.
This smart, fast-paced legal thriller for young readers is the newest adventure for clever and determined kid lawyer Theo Boone.
FROM THE PUBLISHER (Rogue Lawyer):
On the right side of the law. Sort of.
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. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his 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.
Sebastian defends people other lawyers won’t go near: a drug-addled, tattooed kid rumored to be in a satanic cult, who is accused of molesting and murdering two little girls; a vicious crime lord on death row; a homeowner arrested for shooting at a SWAT team that mistakenly invaded his house. Why these clients? Because he believes everyone is entitled to a fair trial, even if he, Sebastian, has to cheat to secure one. He hates injustice, doesn’t like insurance companies, banks, or big corporations; he distrusts all levels of government and laughs at the justice system’s notions of ethical behavior.
Sebastian Rudd is one of John Grisham’s most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters yet. Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down, Rogue Lawyer showcases the master of the legal thriller at his very best.

As a retired attorney, who grew up in the South, loves sports and also was struck with beauty of Charlottesville, this was one of those interviews that made one like the author even more. I also might add, that I once saw him speak at a large Bookshow.. With his serious comments about some of the issues he writes about, one could not help but respect him.

There is one thing that John Grisham has over most of his contemporary authors (male speaking) - he's one handsome dude!

[@lillymclilly4281]

I hear he is now hiding out in possibly Mexico......John, what are you afraid of......

[@hannothephoenician633]

Get away, racist boy.

[@brianletlhabane6018]

he hasn't had a hit in years...i hope Rogue Lawyer will become a huge bestseller

[@hannothephoenician633]

If you don't like these very popular and great books, don't blame him, you may want to read Dick and Jane instead. Rogue Lawyer is one of his very best, but you'll look for hating anyway.
