Webb Hubbell’s Engaging Legal Thriller, “The East End”
Podcast: Download (Duration: 1:03:27 — 58.3MB)
In this episode 70, we visit with author Webb Hubbell, whose recent Jack Patterson legal thriller is “The East End.”
Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States and co-author of “The President Is Missing,” says that “The East End is a powerful, authentic thriller set in a real place, with a story about the real health care needs of people who can’t afford it and the real danger to good people when public corruption threatens the rule of law and respect for facts.” He calls it “a great read and an important warning.”
We start the show with Webb reading from early in the book where attorney Jack Patterson is facing a life and death situation for unexplainable reasons.

About the Author:
Webb Hubbell is a nationally recognized award winning author and popular lecturer on the U.S. criminal justice system, politics and government, writing a novel, and life lessons from sports. He also writes, speaks, and advocates publicly on social issues including the inhumanity of solitary confinement, racial bias in the criminal justice system, the collateral consequences of a criminal conviction, the marijuana legalization movement, and the miracle of organ transplants.
Webb held executive positions in government and industry, including Associate Attorney General of the United States, Chief Justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court, Mayor of Little Rock, Ark., and Executive and Chief Counsel for a Washington-based commercial insurance company.
His most recent books in the Jack Patterson thriller series, “The East End” and “The Eighteenth Green” come with strong reviews with words like “captivating” and “you aren’t going to want to put it down.” https://webbhubbell.com/books-by-webb-hubbell-the-east-end/ David Rudolf, local criminal defense and civil rights attorney, featured in the Netflix series, “The Staircase,” says of “The Eighteenth Green,” that it is an “intriguing tale that harkens the reader back to the days of Oliver North and the Iran-Contra Affair” where “Hubbell masterfully weaves his familiar characters into this new plot.”
A prolific writer, Webb’s novel, When Men Betray (Beaufort Books, May 2014), is the first in a series of legal thrillers set in his hometown of Little Rock, Ark and was recognized as one of Foreword Reviews’ INDIEFAB Book of the Year Winners. His second in the series, Ginger Snaps (Beaufort Books, May 2015) was released to rave reviews, and won the prestigious IPPY Gold Medal for Suspense/thrillers. His third novel, A Game of Inches, was released in August 2016. All the novels draw liberally from Webb’s own life, featuring recognizable personalities and locales from the Arkansas political scene while exploring personal themes of friendship, race relations, betrayal, and redemption.
Webb’s previously published book is Friends in High Places (William Morrow & Co., 1997). An autobiographical account of his rise at a young age through the Arkansas political system, it explores his personal successes and failures there and in Washington, D.C., as a member of President Bill Clinton’s administration.
Born in Little Rock in 1948, Webb earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1970 and a juris doctor degree in 1973 from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. He played football for Arkansas from 1965 to 1969. During his senior year, the Razorbacks were Southwest Conference co-champions and winners of the 1969 Sugar Bowl against undefeated University of Georgia.
Webb and his wife, Suzy, have four children and seven grandchildren and live in Charlotte, N.C.
