The phenomenal new legal thriller from international bestseller John Grisham. NO ONES WRITES DRAMA LIKE GRISHAM.
HE IS THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY. AND THE ULTIMATE KILLER.
Jeri Crosby is a desperate woman.
Frightened and on the run, Crosby uses multiple aliases to hide from the man who murdered her father twenty years ago. The case is officially unsolved - but unofficially, Crosby knows who did it. And her father isn't the only victim.
When Crosby turns to Lacy Stoltz to help her catch the killer, Stoltz knows it will be her toughest case yet. The murderer knows the law better than anyone - because he's a sitting judge.
But nobody is above the law - and Stoltz is determined to prove it.
