When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked, called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies - Judge Fawcett and his young secretary.I did not know Judge Fawcett, but I know who killed him, and why.I am a lawyer, and I am in prison.It's a long story.************ THE INNOCENT MAN by John Grisham is now a major six-part documentary series on Netflix ************What readers are saying about THE RACKETEER'Hooked from start to finish!' - 5 STARS'Excellent read' - 5 STARS'A super yarn' - 5 STARS

About the Author

John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. After graduating from law school at Ole Miss in 1981, he went on to practice law for nearly a decade, specialising in criminal defense and personal injury litigation. One day, Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants. Getting up at 5 a.m. every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987.

His next novel, The Firm, spent 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and became the bestselling novel of 1991. Since then, he has written one novel a year, including The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker and The Runaway Jury.

Today, Grisham has written a collection of stories, a work of non-fiction, three sports novels, seven kids' books, and many legal thrillers. His work has been translated into 45 languages. He lives near Charlottesville, Virginia.

Rear Admiral A Ganesh

An excellent read

Reviewed in India on 19 February 2017

Verified Purchase

In the Racketeer, Grisham shows us glimpses of his earlier work on legal thrillers. With his first few books like the Client and the Firm, he set the bar high raising reader expectations. But a courtroom drama can have only so many twists and turns and a voracious reader like me can soon come to expect and anticipate predictability. However, in this book, Grisham has characterised the jailhouse lawyer with painstaking realism and his narrative has been taut and gripping.
An excellent read.

Gripping Grisham

Reviewed in India on 9 February 2023

Verified Purchase

Grisham is a master of fiction around prisons and federal systems. This book is no exception. It dwells into the story right from the beginning and never swirls a bit till the end. The plot, the style of narration, the twists, and the building of characters have the signature of Grisham at every instance.

The Racketeer - a drag.

Reviewed in India on 25 November 2022

It has been dragged and interwoven and the usual natural flow and intrigue of John Grisham is not there. The natural thrust to turn the pages to see how the story progresses is not there.

Fast paced, Simple yet captivating read!

Reviewed in India on 2 January 2014

Rating is more of 3.5 actually considering the price you can own this book for! Being the first John Grisham book (I have read King of Torts which I felt was very boring back then, so it doesn't count). It supposedly deviates from his usual legal thrillers and that is what I felt. Not much of legal activities and court scene drama stuff with lot of articles and rules thrown in.It's fast paced simple story of revenge with master plan with simplicity on the narration part.Has good story, pacing is great and the language is simple and basic.

On the downside, none of the characters are memorable, the protagonist doesn't evoke any emotions. The back story could have been explored further. Although has some twists but some of the stuff was very predictable.

Overall for this price, it's worth the buy.

A devoted Grisham fan, this novel with its twists and turns kept me interested to the end.
A clever plot line.

Far-fetched, maybe. Fast-paced, for sure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2022

Verified Purchase

Grisham readers won't be disappointed.

This novel moves quickly, a real page turner. Centred on a man with a plot to avenge an unjust sentence for a crime he didn't knowingly commit, there are a few twists in the tale on his way to vindication.

I think most readers will see the twists, or at least their outline before they come, but the story rivets nonetheless, and I had loose ends right to the end.

Not sure how likely the events would be - even Grisham comments on this in the author's notes - but I certainly enjoyed the book from cover to cover.

Excellent revenge tale of a lawyer wrongfully incarcerated

Reviewed in the United States on 18 June 2020

Verified Purchase

Malcolm Bannister was living the life of a retail lawyer in a Virginia town, doing real estate transactions, wills, and the other routine work which occupies a three partner firm, paying the bills but never striking it rich. A law school classmate contacts him and lets him know there's a potentially large commission available for negotiating the purchase of a hunting lodge in rural Virginia for an anonymous client. Bannister doesn't like the smell of the transaction, especially after a number of odd twists and turns during the negotiation, but bills must be paid, and this fee will go a long way toward that goal. Without any warning, during a civic function, costumed goons arrest him and perp-walk him before previously-arranged state media. He, based upon his holding funds in escrow for a real estate transaction, is accused of “money laundering” and indicted as part of a RICO prosecution of a Washington influence peddler. Railroaded through the “justice system” by an ambitious federal prosecutor and sentenced by a vindictive judge, he finds himself imprisoned for ten years at a “Club Fed” facility along with other nonviolent “criminals”.

Five years into his sentence, he has become the librarian and “jailhouse lawyer” of the prison, filing motions on behalf of his fellow inmates and, on occasion, seeing injustices in their convictions reversed. He has lost everything else: his wife has divorced him and remarried, and his law license has been revoked; he has little hope of resuming his career after release.

A jailhouse lawyer hears many things from his “clients”: some boastful, others bogus, but some revealing secrets which those holding them think might help to get them out. When a federal judge is murdered, Bannister knows, from his contacts in prison, precisely who committed the crime and leverages his position to obtain his own release, disappearance into witness protection, and immunity from prosecution for earlier acts. The FBI, under pressure to solve the case and with no other leads, is persuaded by what Bannister has to offer and takes him up on the deal.

A jailhouse lawyer, wrongly convicted on a bogus charge by a despotic regime has a great deal of time to ponder how he has been wronged, identify those responsible, and slowly and surely draw his plans against them.

This is one of the best revenge novels I've read, and it's particularly appropriate since it takes down the tyrannical regime which incarcerates a larger percentage of its population than any serious country and shows how a clever individual can always outwit the bumbling collectivist leviathan as long as he refuses to engage it on level terrain but always exploits agility against the saurian brain reaction time of the state.

The only goof I noticed is that on a flight from Puerto Rico to Atlanta, passengers are required to go through passport control. As this is a domestic flight from a U.S. territory to the U.S. mainland, no passport check should be required.

I wouldn't call this a libertarian novel, as the author accepts the coercive structure of the state as a given, but it's a delightful tale of somebody who has been wronged by that foul criminal enterprise obtaining pay-back by wit and guile.
