The Whistler by John Grisham - Fiction

It is expected that judges be honest and wise. Their integrity is the foundation of the entire judicial system. Society trusts and expects them to establish fair trials, protect the rights of all people involved in a lawsuit, and punish those who do wrong. 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. Her job is to respond to complaints of 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 the history of the United States of America. 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.
