Book Overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as "the best thriller writer alive" by Ken Follett

"Riveting . . . an elaborate conspiracy."--The New York Times Book Review

We expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?

Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. It is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct. After nine years with the Board, she knows that most problems are caused by incompetence, not corruption.

But a corruption case eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout United States history. And now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous.

Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.

This is a very boring book. You cannot get interested enough to read it. The Scarpetta series has been the best. I cannot find anymore like that.

Slow

By Janicealone, January 11, 2024 Verified Purchase

This book is such a disappointment. I don't know if John is sick or just sick of writing. Nothing about this book draws me in. Not the subject, nor the characters. After 129 pages, I just couldn't finish it. That's never happened with a John Grisham book before, not for me anyway.
