JUDGMENT

Joseph Finder

An instant New York Times bestseller! Author Joseph Finder returns with a suspenseful and explosive new thriller about a female judge and the one personal misstep that could lead to her—and her family’s—downfall.

It was nothing more than a one-night stand. Juliana Brody, a judge in the Superior Court of Massachusetts, is rumored to be in consideration for the federal court, maybe someday the highest court in the land. At a conference in a Chicago hotel she meets a gentle, vulnerable man, and in a moment of weakness has an unforgettable night with him. They part with an explicit understanding that this must never happen again. But back home in Boston, it becomes clear that this was no random encounter. The man from Chicago proves to have an integral role in a case she’s presiding over—a sex-discrimination case that’s received national attention. And Juliana discovers that she’s been entrapped, her night of infidelity captured on video. Strings are being pulled in high places, a terrifying unfolding conspiracy that will turn her life upside down. But soon it becomes clear that personal humiliation, even the possible destruction of her career, are the least of her concerns, as her own life and the lives of her family are put in mortal jeopardy. In the end, turning the tables on her adversaries will require her to be as ruthless as they are.

Comments

“I finished Joseph Finder’s JUDGMENT after six hours of high-adrenaline reading. What a great premise: A judge’s one-night fling a thousand miles from home becomes the basis for an attempt to blackmail her in an important case. And that is merely the first surprise. JUDGMENT is smart, swift and well-informed. I loved it!”

“This is an exquisite game of cat and mouse. Finder is fully in his groove here. The guy never disappoints. JUDGMENT rocks.”

“Joseph Finder’s thrillers always deliver, and JUDGMENT is no exception— incredibly timely, twisty, and impossible to put down.”

“Joseph Finder’s JUDGMENT is a pitch perfect, ripped from the headlines thriller. An intense ride that grabs hold and refuses to let go. Judge Juliana Brody is a magnificent character, a perfect blend of believable vulnerability and ruthlessness to protect her family.” – Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Mission Critical

“Not only the main character but also the supporting cast and even the walk-on characters are wonderfully believable. Finder also peppers the narrative with astute observations on a range of professions and criminal activities. Another stunner from a master.”
