ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
* #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
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.
