Another brilliant legal thriller book I read by the best selling author John Grisham is the Judge's List in 2022 January. The story begins when Lacy Stoltz meets a woman named Jeri whose father was murdered in 1992 and she claimed had learned the identity of the killer. Lacy is the interim director of the board on Judicial conduct and it is her duty to investigate complaints of misconduct filed against state court judges. Jeri filed a formal complaint and Lacy were required by state law to get involved. The killing took place twenty years ago in Lacy' s Jurisdiction.
It is very clear to know when you read the initial chapters how a corrupt judge in the higher judiciary can destroy many lives. The characters in this book run a marathon to chase down the killer to the justice system.
In the legal thriller, John Grisham's, Judge's list, the suspect is a sitting judge in Florida - Mr, Ross Bannick suspected of eight murders since 1991 all within driving distance from Pensacola. Each crime scene was in different state. Ross Bannick knew about killing more than anyone did. Strangulation was the method used by the killer, same type of rope, same method, but for the last one no rope was used. Just a few blows to the head. The killer's motive is driven by a sick need for revenge. An antisocial and educated killer who knows technology know-hows, forensic, police procedures and the law, where he left no evidence for the first six crimes he committed. Lacy eventually contacted the FBI and welcomed its Behavioral Analysis unit, the elite team that goes after serial killers.
Having to know the killer already in this legal thriller, leaving no evidence. All Lacy could gather is motive and method. what happens to Mr Ross Bannick at the end? To get to the end which kept me up all night.
