Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - A high-stakes thrill ride through the darkest corners of the Sunshine State, from the author hailed as "the best thriller writer alive" by Ken Follett We expect our 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? It's rare, but it happens. 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. He now goes by the name Greg Myers, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. And not just crooked judges in Florida. All judges, from all states, and throughout U.S. history. What's the source of the ill-gotten gains? It seems the judge was secretly involved with the construction of a large casino on Native American land. The Coast Mafia financed the casino and is now helping itself to a sizable skim of each month's cash. The judge is getting a cut and looking the other way. It's a sweet deal: Everyone is making money. But now Greg wants to put a stop to it. His only client is a person who knows the truth and wants to blow the whistle and collect millions under Florida law. Greg files a complaint with the Board on Judicial Conduct, and the case is assigned to Lacy Stoltz, who immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else. Don't miss John Grisham's new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

"Riveting...finely drawn... The Whistler centers on an elaborate conspiracy involving an Indian reservation, an organized crime syndicate and a crooked judge skimming a small fortune from the tribal casino's monthly haul." --The New York Times Book Review "A main character who's a seriously appealing woman...a whistle-blower who secretly calls attention to corruption...a strong and frightening sense of place...Grisham's on his game." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "A fascinating look at judicial corruption...an entirely convincing story and one of Grisham's best. I can't think of another major American novelist since Sinclair Lewis who has so effectively targeted social and political ills in our society. In Grisham's case, it is time at least to recognize that at his best he is not simply the author of entertaining legal thrillers but an important novelistic critic of our society. In more than 30 novels, he has often used his exceptional storytelling skills to take a hard look at injustice and corruption in the legal world and in our society as a whole." --Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post "Grisham's latest involves the rich and powerful and an abuse of the justice system. Grisham novels are crowd-pleasers because he knows how to satisfy readers who want to see injustice crushed, and justice truly prevails for those who cannot buy influence." -- Associated Press "Grisham has become an institution. For more than 25 years now he's been our guide to the byways and backwaters of our legal system, superb in particular at ferreting out its vulnerabilities and dramatizing their abuse in gripping style. He excels at describing injustice and corruption. Grisham's legal knowledge is impressive, and his ability to convey it unparalleled in popular fiction." -- USA Today

The Whistler Review
I have attempted to buy & read every Grisham novel he's written because I'm a big fan of his. The book was in excellent condition! New & unread, as advertised! But this time, the content was not a 'can't lay it down' type of novel I'm used to with Grisham's usual writings. I'm not exactly sure why, it just kind of dragged on for me. still it was good, but I'm a very fast reader usually completeing his books in a day or two. This time it took me a week. Thank you, Judy Beeson

An Indian Left Out Takes Revenge
This was a "hard to put down" novel about corruption on the Florida Emerald Coast. The Whistler and friends stuck their necks out to bring to light the leaders in the Indian casino who thought they were untouchable. A corrupt judge and her lawyer who put away millions and live way beyond their salaries. The BJC made all of this come to light when the Whistler and others stepped up to make a complaint about the Judge. Lots of details and excellent writing. Highly recommended.

What a Rare and Magnificent Find…
The most thrilling book package that I have ever received and not only because it is an autographed brilliant John Grisham! Duane goes above and beyond simply mailing and meticulously packaging (as much as that is always appreciated). He hand wraps the book like the gift it is with decorative paper, inspirational quotes, a lovely bookmark and a sweet piece of Grisham memorabilia that is pertinent to the story itself! I treasure this thoughtfulness as it is like opening a present! I look forward to returning here very soon! Thank You, Duane!
