- The Racketeer was one of Amazon's mystery/thriller Best Books of the Month picks for October. A Q&A with the author:
- Describe The Racketeer in one sentence.
- A federal judge is murdered, and our hero in prison knows who did it, and why.
- What's on your nightstand/bedside table/Kindle?
- Ian McEwan’s latest novel, Sweet Tooth; a friend’s manuscript; and a Kindle Fire loaded with daily newspapers, magazines, and about three dozen books.
- Top 3-5 favorite books of all time?
- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; A Confederacy of Dunces; The Grapes of Wrath; Little Drummer Girl
- Important book you never read?
- There are so many. Atlas Shrugged, though I’ve been told for the past 30 years that it’s unreadable.
- Book that made you want to become a writer?
- To Kill a Mockingbird made me question race for the first time in my young, insulated, white life. It also inspired me to try and write something great.
- Memorable author moment?
- I received a note from Harper Lee, along with an autographed first edition of To Kill A Mockingbird.
- What's your most prized/treasured possession?
- A first edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, signed by the author.
- Pen envy - book you wish you'd written?
- Harry Potter – he’s the only dude I can’t outsell.
- Author crush - who's your current author crush?
- I’m 57 years old. Crushes are for sophomores.
- What's favorite method of procrastination? Temptation? Vice?
- Don’t get me started. I can waste enormous amounts of time, and with no guilt whatsoever. Currently, I’m doing so on the golf course, playing a game that I took up only four years ago and is driving me nuts.
- What do you collect?
- First editions, primarily Faulkner, Hemingway, and Steinbeck.
- Best piece of fan mail you ever got?
- The letter began: “As the newly elected President of the Arkansas Bar Association, it is incumbent upon me to suggest various topics for your future novels……” I don’t think I finished reading the letter.
- What's next for you?
- I’m hard at work on Theo 4 - “Theodore Boone, The Activist.”
- >See all of John Grisham's books.
- >Read a New York Times review of The Racketeer

- Review
- '[T]his is not a story about a triumph or a miscarriage of courtroom justice. It's the more devious, surprising story of a smart man who gets even smarter once he spends five years honing his skills as a jailhouse lawyer -- and then expertly concocts an ingenious revenge scheme... Mr. Grisham writes with rekindled vigor here -- New York Times 'Grisham introduces a small-town Virginia lawyer named Malcolm Bannister, who's dubiously convicted of money laundering for a drug-lord client, and maps out a revenge plot from his federal penitentiary cell that's twice as elaborate as the one Alexandre Dumas cooked up in The Count of Monte Cristo. Like many a Grisham hero, Mal is a legal insider who knows how to work the system to his advantage. He's also a peculiarly lone wolf, willing to shed all his family ties in pursuit of a very long and entertaining con.' -- Entertainment Weekly 'Grisham controls the unfolding of his narrative with the skill born of his long experience as a thriller writer.' -- Sunday Times 'The key ingredients of Grisham's successful franchise are all here: the small man pitted against formidable odds armed only with his wits and the battered shield that is the law.' -- Express Praise for THE LITIGATORS:'Grisham is brilliantly comic in a novel that is full of zest and brimming with memorable characters and rich storylines' -- The Sunday Times 'A superbly plotted legal thriller' -- Sunday Express Praise for John Grisham:'The best thriller writer alive' -- Ken Follett, Evening Standard 'Grisham is a superb, instinctive storyteller' -- The Times
