Suspense | Thriller Crime
The lives of a female federal judge from Texas and her
family are turned upside down by cryptic and terrifying
letters and other messages that are sent to their home and
the court house by an apparently unhappy litigant. The communications are determined by law enforcement
agencies to pose a “credible threat.” Judge Avery Lassiter
and her family are required to live under 24-hour-a-day
United States Marshal Service protection, for several
months, while another federal agency—the FBI, whose
behavioral analysis unit in Quantico, Virginia classified
the communications as a “credible threat”—investigates and
tries to identify the letter writer before he carries out
his articulated plans to kill the judge and others. While the story initially explores the impact of the death
threat on Judge Lassiter and her family, it ultimately
reveals a plot of a young man—frustrated with the American
justice system—whose aim is to kill numerous judges and
other actors that he believes have ruined lives with impunity. The book both entertains and informs, as it takes the reader
inside the courtroom, behind the bench, into the private
world of a federal judge’s chambers, and into the mind of a
troubled victim-turned-killer and his thirst for his own
idea of justice. It is also a story of guardianship, duty,
and attribution to the U.S. Marshals who quietly stand in
the shadows protecting the courts, judges, and society
generally from those who pose harm. The book ends with an unexpected twist that sets itself up
for a sequel.
