FEAST OR FAMINE

    Irakli Parjiani (1950-1991) was a Georgian oil painter, graphic artist, book illustrator, and poet.    He studied at the Tbilisi Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of Edmond Kalandadze and Jibson Khundadze.

  The Judge’s List (2021) is set in Florida, America.    Investigator Lacy Stolze of the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct works to assess complaints against sitting judges. But she has never received a complaint like this one. Usually, she investigates bribes and corruption.    Jeri Crosby’s father was murdured in 1992. For 22 years, she has been trying to find her father’s killer. She knows it was a sitting judge, but she needs proof.    Proof is nearly impossible. This judge is patient, calculating, careful, evasive, and cunning. He is brilliant at erasing all evidence and remaining unknown as a suspect.    The judge has great patience and he is a serial killer – ‘he had waited five years to kill her father, nine to kill the reporter, twenty-two to kill Kronke, and approximately fourteen to kill his scoutmaster.’ Jeri is patient too. Now she needs the help of Lacy Stolze and the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct.   The judge hasn’t finished killing. He has more people on his list.
