The Judge's List de John Grisham

The Judge's List

Autor John Grisham
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 iun 2022

Structura narativă se bazează pe o cursă contracronometru, unde investigatorul devine prada. Lacy Stoltz, pe care am întâlnit-o în The Whistler, se confruntă acum cu o provocare mult mai sumbră. Nu mai e vorba doar de corupție financiară. Miza este supraviețuirea. Un judecător în funcție din Florida este suspectat că ar fi un criminal în serie meticulos. El deține o listă. O listă cu nume. Oameni care l-au supărat și care acum dispar. Reținem că acest antagonist nu este un infractor obișnuit. El posedă cunoștințe vaste de medicină legală și procedură penală. Este mereu cu un pas înainte. Putem afirma că tensiunea este alimentată de obsesia lui Jeri Crosby, care a petrecut douăzeci de ani documentând crimele acestui om. Ca și în The Racketeer, John Grisham explorează vulnerabilitățile sistemului de justiție, dar dintr-o perspectivă mult mai personală și violentă. Dacă în alte romane accentul cădea pe birocrația legală, aici ritmul este dictat de teroare. Merită menționat că autorul integrează detalii tehnologice moderne care fac urmărirea aproape imposibilă. Lacy trebuie să dovedească vinovăția unui om care scrie el însuși legea. Ritmul este alert. Tonul este rece, aproape clinic, reflectând mintea calculată a criminalului. Este o incursiune în psihologia răzbunării mascate de autoritatea robei.

***THE SUNDAY TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH***

'Besides the usual Grisham virtues of an arresting idea, polished plotting and vivid social snapshots, what's impressive here is his willingness to take on fresh challenges' THE SUNDAY TIMES

Nonstop suspense from the Sunday Times bestselling author: Investigator Lacy Stoltz follows the trail of a serial killer, and closes in on a shocking suspect - a sitting judge.

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.
