I am a John Grisham fan. I know, I know, many readers say his books are all alike. I don't agree, I like them all. Of course, I love lawyer books, lawyer movies, lawyer tv shows! When I was a young girl, I would watch Perry Mason, sitting at the coffee table pretending to be the lawyer! But, no, I really have never had the desire to be a lawyer - I just like stories about them!!
Grisham's new book did not disappoint me. It even surprised me a couple of times!
"Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered.
Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.
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 judge’s body was found in his remote lakeside cabin. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies: Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. And one large, state-of-the-art, extremely secure safe, opened and emptied.
What was in the safe? 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 . . ."
It kept my attention and was a fast read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. - If you are a Grisham fan or just like reading about lawyers!
John Grisham has a very interesting biography and you can read about him H.E.R.E.
