The Judge's List

In The Judge's List, John Grisham delivers an intense legal thriller centering on Lacy Stoltz, an investigator with the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. After surviving dangerous encounters with corrupt officials in her past, Lacy is considering a career change when she meets Jeri Crosby, a woman living under false names and driven by an intense quest for justice.

Twenty years after her father's unsolved murder, Jeri has tracked down a suspect she believes has carried out numerous undetected killings over decades. The man she accuses is exceptionally clever, patient, and deeply versed in forensic methods, police routine, and statutory law. Most chilling of all, he sits as a presiding judge in Florida, placing him directly within Lacy's investigative purview.

As Lacy looks into the claims, she uncovers a calculating killer who meticulously records those who have crossed him. Pursuing the truth requires unmatched caution, as any misstep could place her directly in the crosshairs of a magistrate who operates as both the law and an elusive predator.
