From his first trial at age 16 to his nervy late admission to law school and representation of a client charged with two counts of armed bank robbery on his fourth day as a lawyer, it was clear that Jake Rodgers was not destined to be a desk bound attorney doing research and pleadings. This is one lawyer’s story about a unique career that took him all over the world on often offbeat and sometimes even dangerous assignments. Jake did his own detective work which he enjoyed as much as the legal work. Tending to be a lone wolf, his sense of adventure led him to far flung places including Singapore, Indonesia, India, Denmark, and France. Looking back, he had no regrets about the path he had chosen. Written as a Roman a clef, the author is the real Jake Rodgers as depicted in the story.
