Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWho 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNothing is as it seems and everything's fair game in this wickedly clever novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDon't miss John Grisham's new book, \u003c\/i\u003eTHE EXCHANGE: AFTER\u003ci\u003e THE FIRM, coming soon!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Large Print Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780739378342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.38w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e155608 \/ Racketeer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 17\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Grisham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924899270837,"sku":"9780739378342","price":28.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f68ed937-2be5-46a3-8836-8c5f80755e4f.jpg?v=1687840919","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-racketeer-9780739378342","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
