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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat  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 . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing 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.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100415344880,"sku":"2940169059151","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169059151_p0.jpg?v=1763670706","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169059151","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
