Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - " 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. Who is the Racketeer? And what does he have to do with the judge's untimely demise? His name, for the moment, is Malcolm Bannister. Job status? Former attorney. Current residence? The Federal Prison Camp near Frostburg, Maryland. On paper, Malcolm's situation isn't looking too good these days, but he's got an ace up his sleeve. He knows who killed Judge Fawcett, and he knows why. The FBI would love to know. And Malcolm Bannister would love to tell them. But everything has a price--especially information as explosive as the sequence of events that led to Judge Fawcett's death. And the Racketeer wasn't born yesterday. Nothing is as it seems and everything's fair game in this wickedly clever novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller. Don't miss John Grisham's new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

Critical Acclaim for the Undisputed Master of the Legal Thriller "With every new book I appreciate John Grisham a little more, for his feisty critiques of the legal system, his compassion for the underdog, and his willingness to strike out in new directions."- Entertainment Weekly "John Grisham is exceptionally good at what he does-indeed, right now in this country,  nobody does it better . . . Grisham's books are also smart, imaginative, and funny, populated by complex interesting people, written by a man who is driven not merely by the desire to entertain but also by genuine (if understated) outrage at human cupidity and venality."-Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post "The secrets of Grisham's success are no secret at all. There are two of them: his pacing, which ranges from fast to breakneck, and his theme-little guy takes on big conspiracy with the little guy getting the win in the end. - Time "The law, by its nature, creates drama, and a new Grisham promises us an inside look at the dirty machineries of process and power, with plenty of an entertainment." Los Angeles Times "John Grisham is about as good a storyteller as we've got in the United States these days."- The New York Times Book Review "Grisham is a marvelous storyteller who works readers the way a good trial lawyer works a jury."- The Philadelphia Inquirer "John Grisham owns the legal thriller."- The Denver Post "John Grisham is not just popular, he is one of the most popular novelists of our time. He is a craftsman and he writes good stories, engaging characters, and clever plots."- The Seattle Times "A mighty narrative talent and an unerring eye for hot-button issues."-Chicago Sun-Times   "A legal literary legend."- USA Today

  • Most favourable review

    The author adds just enough historical facts to make the entire book believable as if it really happened.

    The book portrays situations that happen in real life. The author keeps your attention with details and makes you want to keep reading. It is hard to put down.

  • "THE RACKETEER" IS A BORING, PREDICTABLE BOOK WITH AN INCONCEIVABLE PLOT

    Grisham pens a rather elementary 340 page legal thriller. I bought the book because I have read every John Grisham book. I cannot recommend this one, IT IS NOT A PAGE-TURNER. A very unsophisticated plot, predictable events, and a bitter main character lead the reader to resent both the protagonists and antagonists. I'm donating this book to the homeless shelter. I don't want my wife or either of my young kids to accidentally read this, and waste several hours. Well, I guess when you have to write one book a year for your contract with Doubleday, the stories get to wear thin. The author's note at the end reads: "Almost nothing in the previous 340-odd pages is based on reality. Research, hardly a priority, was rarely called upon." It shows, John.

  • Subterfuge

    I love John Grisham books. This one has so many plot twists that I never knew the ultimate goal of the character, Malcolm/Max until close to the end.

  • Bad guy (sorta) really gets his revenge on the system!

    Wonderful book, page after page of exciting drama, the principal consistently outthinking the best of the law as well as the bad guys. Many twists and turns leading to an exceptional conclusion. This is one you will not put down, for sure, be prepared for some late evening reading! One of Grisham's very best!
