«El mejor autor vivo de thriller.
Ken Follett Lacy Stoltz es una joven investigadora y abogada de Florida, y su trabajo consiste en responder a las demandas relacionadas con la mala praxis judicial. Tras nueve años en el puesto, sabe que la mayor parte de los problemas derivan de incompetencias.
De repente le llega un caso de corrupción. Greg Myers afirma conocer un juez de Florida que ha robado más dinero que el resto de los jueces poco honestos juntos. Estaba involucrado en secreto con la construcción de un gran casino en tierras indÃgenas. La mafia financió el casino y ahora se lleva cada mes una buena tajada de la caja mensual. El juez también se lleva su parte y mira hacia otro lado. Todos contentos.
Pero ahora Greg quiere poner punto final a esta situación. Su único cliente conoce la verdad y quiere contarlo todo. Greg presenta una denuncia y el caso se le asigna a Lacy Stoltz, quien de inmediato sospecha que puede ser peligroso.
Pero el peligro es una cosa y la muerte, otra muy distinta. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION - #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 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 is 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 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. 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, 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 United States history. And now he 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. When the case is assigned to Lacy, she immediately suspects that this one could be dangerous. Dangerous is one thing. Deadly is something else.
