APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
It’s rare for an author to be so, so good for so very long. John Grisham’s 37th book is a terrific legal thriller from a master of the genre: insider-y, suspenseful and fun. But what makes The Whistler particularly great are the wonderfully three-dimensional characters at its heart. Lacy Stoltz and Hugo Hatch are friends and colleagues at the Board on Judicial Conduct, where they investigate judges accused of malpractice and corruption. As the duo work through the biggest, most dangerous case of their careers, we were on-board (and on edge) for every twist and turn.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lawyer Lacy Stolz, the heroine of this tense legal thriller from bestseller Grisham (Rogue Lawyer), investigates complaints against judges for the Florida Board on Judicial Misconduct. In her nine years on the job, there has never been any danger in her assignments; the justices are often more incompetent than corrupt. Everything changes when Stolz and a colleague, Hugo Hatch, meet with a disbarred lawyer, who eager to collect a whistleblower's reward has evidence of corruption unlike anything they have ever handled. A judge in the pocket of the Coast Mafia has spent years skimming millions from a Native American owned casino. At least three people have been murdered to cover up the graft, and an innocent man sits on death row, but few are willing to help Stolz and Hatch expose the corruption. The casino keeps the money flowing, and stepping forward could be deadly. A lead brings Stolz and Hatch onto tribal land, where they find themselves caught in a trap. A high-stakes game of gambling, greed, and murder plays out in another page-turner from a master storyteller.
Customer Reviews
The secret of court dramas
This book shows how details of the world of any legal case can become part of those who try to solve them. That’s why this genre is forever offering different ways to look at things. While crime can make us wait until the last moment for the real truth, more legal cases can make us, readers, disclose how important every little detail of those involved is in contributing to discover what really happened in never ending different ways.
