Read Book Review

In the beginning one will feel that the book is following the regular trend of John's stories in which the lawyer is in trouble all of a sudden and does not know how to get out of it. But slowly one will get to read the story of Malcolm Bannister a dismissed lawyer, who leads his followers on a long run. He tells how he is caught in racketeering charges because of an influenced peddler Barry the Backhander. Mal was given 10 years sentence for RICO infringement he unknowingly committed as his law firm was involved in the transaction of Barry's real-estate. Racketeer is a well drafted plot based on a legal principle. For this one could consider it as Rule 35. According to this Rule if a defendant provides enough proof for investigating another man then his sentence can be reduced.

Later in the story one comes through the secret death killing of Attorney Raymond Fawcett and his secretary, also that his safe is empty. Earlier Malcolm told in the story that he knows the secret behind the Attorney's murder. He said he knows who the killer is why the attorney was killed but he wanted to do some sort of barter with them. He said if he is set free from all charges then he would open the secret behind the attorney's murder.

So if one wants to know whether Malcolm was set free or was he allowed to prove the allegations. To know more about "The Racketeer" pre-order and be the first to have this book on release.
