The Judge’s List by John Grisham
Lacy Stoltz of The Whistler looked into a judge who was collecting millions in bribes from a criminal organization. Despite being attacked and on the verge of death, she managed to capture the culprits. She is ready for a change after three years and as she approaches forty, she is sick of working for the Florida Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Eventually, she encounters a mysterious woman who is so terrified that she goes by many aliases. Twenty years prior, Jeri Crosby’s father was murdered in a case that is still open but has long since become cold. But Jeri has a suspect that she has been obsessing over and following for 20 years. She has discovered additional victims along the way.

Suspicions are simple to form, but proving them is more challenging. The man always stays one step ahead of law enforcement and is intelligent and patient. He is the most shrewd serial murderer there is. He is knowledgeable in forensics, police protocol, and most importantly, the law. He is a judge in Florida, which is Lacy’s territory.
He has a list with the names of the innocent people who crossed his path and wronged him, all of whom were unlucky enough to be his targets and victims. How can Lacy pursue him without adding her name to his list of targets? By any standard, The Judge’s List is John Grisham’s most shocking and spooky book to date.
For the Florida Commission on Judicial Conduct, Lacy Stoltz looks into corrupt judges. She doesn’t look into homicides. Or at least that’s what she attempts to tell Jeri Crosby, who has made more headway in determining who killed her father and other people than all of the law enforcement agencies involved in them, across many states. Jeri, though, won’t be deterred. Justice must be carried out, and in her opinion, Lacy is the only one who can do it. We get motivated people and a brilliant, merciless killer from John Grisham. Will he ever be apprehended?
Florida’s Bureau on Judicial Conduct is where Lacy Stoltz works. Because of the significant turnover, she is the senior attorney employed there. Her agency looks into complaints before determining the next step in the procedure, which may include informing a judge of the allegation. A relationship between Lacy and an FBI agent may or may not end in marriage.
When Lacy receives a request to meet with a woman who might be submitting an extremely unique complaint against a sitting judge, her life is about to be put to the test. The accusation that a judge is killing people surprises Lacy when she meets with Jeri since she is unsure of what to expect.
When she learned that her father had been murdered, Jeri spent twenty years on the judge’s radar. Jeri discovers what may be a serial killer as she searches for solutions!
Now that the route has been established, Lacy must follow it even though there are just hypothetical reasons and maybes. There is not a single physical piece of evidence that she or the police could gather and examine. A sitting judge has never been probed, much less found guilty of such a horrible crime. The judge is suspected of having committed murder over a period of several decades.
