The Racketeer by John Grisham

racketeerMalcolm Bannister is a lawyer that got caught-up in an unfortunate money laundering scheme.  Never intending to help a client hide ill-gained money he now is in a federal prison camp in Maryland.  As a lawyer and the camp librarian, Malcolm meets and helps many of the inmates challenging the system and hoping to find a loophole to get out.  Now Malcolm is working the system as he applies the ‘rule of 35′.   Rule 35 allows for the reduction of a sentence if a defendant provides “substantial assistance in investigating or prosecuting another person.”.  Malcolm is put in a witness protection program after identifying the killer of a federal judge.  Now known as Max, and with a new face courtesy of plastic surgery, we are lead on a wild storyline with unusual schemes never knowing if this is trickery or truth.
