This question was a little vague because he was not sure about the plot and background of the novel. However, based on the information provided, I can try to recommend a novel: The Judge's Nine Lives. The main character of this novel was a third-generation member of the Red Army who used to be a special forces soldier and later became a judge. His nickname was Judge because he had a high reputation and prestige in the legal world. The plot of the novel was full of suspense and surprises. It was a popular online fantasy novel.
