The Whistler
The Whistler is a novel written by American author John Grisham. It was released in hardcover, large print paperback, e-book, compact disc audiobook and downloadable audiobook on October 25, 2016. It is a legal thriller centered on the character of Lacy Stoltz, a seasoned investigator for the fictional Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. The plot centers on the legal and moral problems involved in Native American gaming. The (fictional) Tappacola Nation, a small Native American tribe located in the northern part of Florida, establishes a casino on their reservation, giving the tribe members an unprecedented economic affluence and a measure of compensation for their sufferings throughout centuries of European settlement, but also opening wide the potential for corruption and involvement with organized crime, up to and including outright murder.
