The Racketeer. By John Grisham

The Racketeer

John Grisham

Hodder. First published 2012.

A lawyer who is imprisoned for being marginally and innocently involved in a financial scam plots his revenge. Not specifically on those who sent him to jail, but on the FBI and on the gangsters. So that, like the protagonists in other Grisham thriller I read, 'The Firm', in the end he is on the run from both the law and the crooks. But, of course, he is way too smart for them, and manages to outwit both groups. The book is interesting enough, with 'insider' descriptions of things like the witness protection program. Ideally it should be purchased at an airport bookshop and read over the journey. And this is what Chitra did. I just borrowed it from her.
