The Judge's List

Three years after confronting a corrupt judge, Lacy Stoltz, a lawyer for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct, finds herself disillusioned and seeking a change. Her professional ennui is shattered when she meets Jeri Crosby, a woman consumed by a two-decade-long quest for justice. Jeri's father was murdered twenty years prior, a cold case that the police have long abandoned. However, Jeri has meticulously pieced together clues, identifying a prime suspect whom she has relentlessly stalked. Her investigation has uncovered a pattern, revealing other victims and a terrifying truth: the man responsible is a brilliant, patient, and highly cunning serial killer. What makes this killer particularly dangerous is his profound understanding of forensics, police procedures, and, most chillingly, the law itself, as he is a sitting judge in Florida. Lacy is drawn into Jeri's obsessive hunt, realizing the immense peril of confronting an adversary who is always one step ahead. The judge, disturbingly, maintains a meticulously kept 'list' of those who have wronged him, and Lacy must race against time to bring him to justice before her own name is added to his deadly ledger.
