Their integrity is the bedrock of the entire judicial system.

But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe?\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eLacy 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 unlike any other eventually crosses her desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eA 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. He alleges a conspiracy that extends into organized crime and Native American casino operations, and now he wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a mysterious whistleblower who knows the truth and expects to collect millions under Florida law. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. And as the investigation deepens, she quickly realizes that dangerous is one thing, but deadly is something else entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color: #2c3e50; font-size: 1.25em; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Grisham\u003c\/strong\u003e is a critically acclaimed author and an undisputed master of the modern legal thriller.
