The French Bookshop :: Policier/Thriller :: Etats Unis :: Grisham John : The Whistler (English-Second Hand)

We expect judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity and impartiality are the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong and to oversee the orderly and efficient flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe ?
Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. She is a lawyer, not a cop, and 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 eventually crosses her desk. A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business with a new identity. And he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. What's the source of the ill-gotten gains ? Are they related to the construction of a large casino on Native American land, which seems financed by the Coast Mafia ?

'John Grisham is exceptionally good at what he does. His books are smart, imaginative and funny, populated by complex, interesting people.' (The Washington Post)
