As a legal thriller, The Whistler focuses on the idea of judicial corruption and misconduct. It ties together inner financial operations of a wealthy casino with a judge reported to be engaging in funding its construction on what is meant to be Native American land. The business of the casino involves secretive money laundering, which is a major source of the state's ill-gotten gains, supplying the Coast Mafia with greater influence. John Grisham is able to create a vast environment within the story, as readers are led through a captivating chase. The perspective of Lacy Stoltz is followed, who is part of the Board on Judicial Conduct, and on a dangerous investigation to track down the sources of corruption. However, it entails danger and suspense throughout. The very topic of the story is captivating, since there are many potential twists and turns, which will undoubtedly leave the reader engaged.
