The novel delves into the corrupt world of a judge who takes millions in bribes from a crime syndicate, leading to a dangerous confrontation between Stoltz and the criminals. Despite putting the criminals behind bars, Stoltz is attacked and nearly killed, leaving her exhausted and ready for a change.

Three years later, Stoltz meets a mysterious woman named Jeri Crosby, who is haunted by the unsolved murder of her father twenty years ago. Jeri has become obsessed with a suspect she has stalked for two decades, and she believes he is the most cunning serial killer. With the help of a forensic expert, Stoltz begins to piece together the clues and uncovers a chilling truth: the judge is on a list with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people who have crossed his path and wronged him in some way.

As Stoltz pursues the judge, she becomes increasingly aware of the danger she is in. The judge is brilliant, patient, and always one step ahead of law enforcement. He knows forensics, police procedure, and most importantly, the law. He is a judge in Florida, under Stoltz's jurisdiction, and he has a list with the names of his victims and targets, all unsuspecting people unlucky enough to have crossed his path and wronged him in some way.

Stoltm faces a moral dilemma as she tries to pursue the judge without becoming the next name on his list. The novel is filled with suspense, surprises, and chilling moments that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. "The Judge's List" is by any measure John Grisham's most surprising and chilling novel yet, showcasing his talent for crafting intricate plots and delivering thrilling suspense.
