Un thriller lleno de tensión y con una premisa impactante: ¿y si un asesino en serie buscado durante más de veinte años fuera un juez en ejercicio?
Lacy Stoltz se ha encontrado en numerosas ocasiones frente a problemas de corrupción en su trabajo como investigadora de la Comisión de Conducta Judicial de Florida. Pero nada la ha preparado para el caso que una asustada pero decidida desconocida quiere poner en sus manos.
El padre de Jeri Crosby fue asesinado hace veinte años. Su muerte sigue sin resolverse pero Jeri tiene un sospechoso al que ha estado siguiendo de manera obsesiva durante dos décadas. En el camino, ha descubierto otras víctimas.
Sus sospechas son firmes pero las pruebas parecen imposibles de conseguir. El culpable es inteligente, paciente y siempre va un paso por delante de la policía. Es el más brillante de los asesinos en serie. Conoce los procedimientos, el trabajo de investigación y, sobre todo..., conoce la ley.
Se trata de un juez de Florida de la jurisdicción de Lacy.
Y tiene una lista con los nombres de todos sus objetivos, personas inocentes que han tenido la mala suerte de cruzarse en su camino y ofenderle de alguna manera. ¿Podrá detenerle Lacy sin convertirse en su próxima víctima?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • Investigator Lacy Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect—a sitting judge—in “one of the best crime reads of the year.… Bristling with high-tech detail and shivering with suspense…. Worth staying up all night to finish” (Wall Street Journal).
In The Whistler, Lacy Stoltz investigated a corrupt judge who was taking millions in bribes from a crime syndicate. She put the criminals away, but only after being attacked and nearly killed. Three years later, and approaching forty, she is tired of her work for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct and ready for a change.
Then she meets a mysterious woman who is so frightened she uses a number of aliases. Jeri Crosby’s father was murdered twenty years earlier in a case that remains unsolved and that has grown stone cold. But Jeri has a suspect whom she has become obsessed with and has stalked for two decades. Along the way, she has discovered other victims.
Suspicions are easy enough, but proof seems impossible. The man is brilliant, patient, and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He is the most cunning of all serial killers. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most important: he knows the law.
He is a judge, in Florida—under Lacy’s jurisdiction.
He has a list, with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way. How can Lacy pursue him, without becoming the next name on his list?
The Judge’s List is by any measure John Grisham’s most surprising, chilling novel yet.
