The Racketeer - John Grisham

Malcolm Bannister is a lawyer. He is in prison.

Five years ago, the FBI set him up as the fall guy for a crime he did not know he was committing. He has exhausted every avenue of appeal, and any hope of acquittal.

Until now.

Judge Raymond Fawcett is found dead in a remote lakeside cabin. There are no witnesses, no fingerprints, no evidence. The investigators have no leads.

Bannister didn’t know the judge. But he knows who killed him, and why.

It could be his ticket to freedom. And revenge..
