John Grisham: The Judge's List (UK 2025)

From the Publisher:
Jeri Crosby is a desperate woman.
Frightened and on the run, Crosby uses multiple aliases to hide from the man who murdered her father twenty years ago. The case is officially unsolved - but unofficially, Crosby knows who did it. And her father isn't the only victim.

When Crosby turns to Lacy Stoltz to help her catch the killer, Stoltz knows it will be her toughest case yet. The murderer knows the law better than anyone - because he's a sitting judge.

But nobody is above the law - and Stoltz is determined to prove it.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER
Investigator Lacy Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect -- a sitting judge -- in "one of the best crime reads of the year... Bristling with high-tech detail and shivering with suspense... Worth staying up all night to finish" (Wall Street Journal).

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.
