Nonstop suspense from theSunday Times bestselling author: Investigator Lacy
Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect
- a sitting judge. In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who
was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals
away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and
approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial
Conduct and ready for a change. Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so
frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby's father was murdered
twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone
cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked
for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims. Suspicions are
easy enough, but proof seems impossible. The man is brilliant, patient, and
always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial
killers. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most important: he knows the
law. He is a judge, in Florida - under Lacy's jurisdiction. He has a list, with
the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to
have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him,
without becoming the next name on his list? The Judge's List is by any measure
John Grisham's most surprising, chilling novel yet.
