#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER 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 . . .
Nothing is as it seems and everything s fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.

Der dunkelhäutige Anwalt Bannister sitzt zu Unrecht im Gefängnis. Als ein Bundesrichter und seine Geliebte ermordet aufgefunden werden, kann er seine Zeit im Knast verkürzen. Denn Bannister kennt die Identität des Mörders. Er tauscht sein Wissen gegen eine neue Identität und ein neues Gesicht innerhalb des Zeugenschutzprogramms. Denn die Freiheit kommt mit der Angst, dennoch gefunden zu werden …
Der Thriller führt zwar nicht zum Nägelbeißen oder zu beanspruchten Gehirnzellen, ist aber clever konstruiert und so unterhaltsam, dass man ihn gut in einem Rutsch durchhören könnte.
Jackson liest angenehm literarisch, mit dem für dunkelhäutige Amerikaner typischen Tonfall und klingt dabei teilweise wie Denzel Washington. Am 22. Oktober erscheint in den USA übrigens die Fortsetzung von "Die Jury" ("Sycamore Row"). Oder: "Pageturner 22".
