An Orthodox judge sends a small-time criminal to prison ... and finds his life turned upside-down by sudden tragedy.

Five years later, both Sara Muller and Judge Daniel Newman have managed to put heartbreak behind them and are busy leading useful — if lonely — lives. Then evil strikes again, in the form of one man’s unquenchable thirst for revenge. He is determined to get it and nothing will stand in his way. No means are too horrifying for him to contemplate. Daniel’s own children become pawns in a terrifying game whose rules he cannot begin to understand. And -- though he does not know it yet — only Sara Muller holds the key to the stalker’s identity.

As a judge, Daniel has heard and seen evil. As a teacher, Sara has worked with the victims of tragedy. But neither has ever been a target. Now, their faith and their wits are tested as never before.

The Judge is the newest spine-tingler by Libby Lazewnik, author of Secret Accounts and many other acclaimed novels. This remarkable book provides edge-of-your-seat suspense while plumbing the depths of the human heart -- an unbeatable combination.
