No va a permitir que la verdad se interponga en el camino de la justicia... Sebastian Rudd no es el típico abogado: lleva arma y su oficina es una camioneta a prueba de balas conducida por su guardaespaldas, que a su vez es su asistente legal y único amigo. Defiende a quienes otros no querrían ni ver: un drogadicto, un chico tatuado que supuestamente forma parte de un culto satánico acusado de acosar y matar a dos niñas pequeñas, un criminal en el corredor de la muerte, un hombre arrestado por disparar a unos geo al entrar por error en su casa... ¿Por qué estos clientes? -- Porque cree que todo el mundo tiene derecho a un juicio justo, incluso aunque él tenga que hacer trampa para conseguirlo. Odia la injusticia, no le gustan las aseguradoras, los bancos o las grandes empresas, desconfía de cualquier persona que tenga que ver con el Gobierno y se ríe de las nociones del sistema judicial sobre comportamiento ético

El profesor de simbología Robert Langdon se despierta en un hospital en mitad de la noche, desorientado y con una herida en la cabeza. No recuerda nada de las últimas treinta y seis horas. Ni cómo ha llegado hasta allí, ni el origen del macabro objeto que los médicos descubren entres sus pertenencias. El mundo de Langdon pronto se convierte en un caos y se ve obligado a huir por las calles de Florencia junto con una inteligente joven, Sienna Brooks, cuyas hábiles maniobras le salvan la vida. Langdon no tarda en darse cuenta de que se encuentra en posesión de una serie de inquietantes códigos creados por un brillante científico; un genio cuya obsesión con el fin del mundo sólo es equiparable a la pasión que siente por una de las obras maestras más influyentes jamás escritas; "Inferno", el oscuro poema épico de Dante Alighieri.

'No one does it better than Grisham' - Telegraph He was betrayed by the FBI. Now he wants revenge . . . 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. His body was found in the small basement of a lakeside cabin he had built himself and frequently used on weekends. When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked, called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies - Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. 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.
