The Judge’s List by John Grisham is a legal suspense novel in which Florida investigator Lacy Stoltz is drawn into a cold case after a tip suggests a respected sitting judge may be hiding violent crimes; as she and an informant try to substantiate the claim, they run into the judge’s insider knowledge of the system, escalating risk, and a tense cat-and-mouse push to uncover truth in a world where power and procedure can shield wrongdoing.
