EVERYONE HAS THEIR PRICE.
A judge has been brutally murdered.
His body is found in a remote lakeside cabin. There is no sign of forced entry or a struggle. Just two dead bodies – the judge and his secretary – and one state-of-the-art safe, opened and emptied.
Ex-attorney Malcolm Bannister knows who killed the judge – and why. The FBI need to know his secrets. And Bannister is ready to talk. But there’s a catch: he is currently serving a ten-year prison sentence.
Bannister knows that everything has a price – and this racketeer wasn’t born yesterday.

Tautly plotted
A satisfying, deeply engrossing thriller in which different forms of justice are ultimately served
Like many a Grisham hero, Mal is a legal insider who knows how to work the system to his advantage. He's also a peculiarly lone wolf, willing to shed all his family ties in pursuit of a very long and entertaining con.
Electrifying
Grisham writes with rekindled vigor here
The best thriller writer alive
No one does it better than Grisham

The Racketeer is guilty of only one thing: keeping us engaged until the very last page
Fast-paced . . . with enough startling plot twists - and changes of scenery, from Miami to Montego Bay and beyond - to surprise even the most suspicious reader
