New York : Doubleday, 2012. 343 p. ; 25 cm. A legal thriller, The Racketeer follows the murder of Federal Judge Raymond Fogletree. His body was found in the basement of a lakeside cabin he had built himself and frequently used on weekends. 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 Fogletree and his young secretary and an empty safe. Malcolm Bannister, a former lawyer, currently in prison, knows who did the killing and why. He's willing to tell, for a price. 20121031. Judges Fiction. Mystery fiction.
