Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The Racketeer is guilty of only one thing: keeping us engaged until the very last page.”—USA Today In the history of the United States, only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.

His body is found in his remote lakeside cabin. There is no sign of forced entry or struggle. Just two dead bodies: Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. And one large, state-of-the-art, extremely secure safe, opened and emptied.
 
One man, a former attorney, knows who killed Judge Fawcett, and why. But that man, Malcolm Bannister, is currently residing in the Federal Prison Camp near Frostburg, Maryland. Though serving time, Malcolm has an ace up his sleeve. He has information the FBI would love to know. Malcolm would love to tell them. But everything has a price—and the man known as the Racketeer wasn’t born yesterday.

    Predictable ending if you have read other John Grisham books. Underdog outsmarts the world….

    This is the second book by Grisham I have read that had no ending. The story is good, it kept me interested and looking forward to a conclusion. There was none.

    Kept me glued trying to figure out. When all came together was great but still held my breath. Do the FEDS like Grisham?
  • Interesting Story

    Some slow and tedious details but the pace finally picks up.
  • Took me awhile to get into it, but ends up really good!

    The first few chapters were really slow going. I wasn’t excited about reading it, like so many other books I’ve read. As the story progresses though, it gets more and more interesting.
  • Good beach read

    By the writers own admission it did strain possibility just a bit. Still worthwhile. I just wish I was at the beach!

    As usual, Grisham’s book is a easy light read. The series of events is highly improbable, but the book was entertaining in a humorous way.
  • Great
