#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 “Riveting . . . an elaborate conspiracy.”—The New York Times Book Review 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.

📚 Why We Recommend It

We all trust judges to be the guardians of justice—honest, wise, and unshakable. But what if one judge betrays that trust so deeply, they’ve stolen more than every crooked judge in U.S. history combined? That’s the explosive question at the heart of John Grisham’s The Whistler—a high-stakes legal thriller that proves why Ken Follett called him “the best thriller writer alive.”

Lacy Stoltz spends her days investigating judicial misconduct for Florida’s Board on Judicial Conduct, mostly dealing with bumbling incompetence, not corruption. But when a disbarred lawyer walks in with a bombshell—he has a client ready to “blow the whistle” on a Florida judge’s massive theft—Lacy’s quiet world shatters. This isn’t just a case of bending the law; it’s a conspiracy so big, it’s deadly. As she digs deeper, Lacy realizes: dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.
