The Racketeer
Inhaltsangabe
Number One bestseller John Grisham returns with his most suspenseful thriller yet.
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 the USA only four active federal judges have been murdered.
Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five.
His body was found in the small basement of a lakeside cabin he had built himself and frequently used on weekends. When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks panicked, called the FBI, and in due course the agents found the crime scene. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies - Judge Fawcett and his young secretary.
I did not know Judge Fawcett, but I know who killed him, and why.
I am a lawyer, and I am in prison.
It's a long story.

Empfehlung für Gisham-Fans + Lob für den Sprecher
Im Vergleich mit den ganz großen Grisham-Werken hat dieses Buch vielleicht einige kleinere Schwächen. Es ist aber auf jeden Fall eine gelungene Geschichte mit spannenden und unvorhersehbaren Wendungen. Sehr gut hat mir die Leistung des Sprechers gefallen. Wegen der einen kritischen Stimme möchte ich für Herrn Jackson eine Lanze brechen. Gerade sein Akzent und seine ruhige gelassene Art des Vorlesens passen gut zu den Charakteren und sind sehr angenehm für die Ohren.

gute Story, aber der Leser...
Dieser unterschwellige Südstaatenakzent des Sprechers ist zwar zur Geschichte passend, aber trotzdem lahm und teilweise schwer zu verstehen. Trotzdem spannend.

super spannendes Hörbuch, super gelesen !!!!
wie eigentlich immer, eine super Grisham Story, fantastisch vorgetragen, da die Hauptperson ein Farbiger ist, passt J.D. Jackson als Vorleser perfekt, ein echtes Muss...

Disclaimer unnötig
Typisch Grisham: ein vom Rechtssystem Überrollter rappelt sich wieder auf, aber es gibt hinter dem offensichtlichen Plot noch eine zweite Geschichte. Nur dass der hier derart losgelöst und scheinbar aus heiterem Himmel in der zweiten Hälfte loslegt, dass man sich am Ende wirklich fragt was da eben ablief?
Keine Frage: die Geschichte ist handwerklich gut ausgeführt und der Vortrag von J. D- Jackson ist brilliant. Aber ganz im Ernst: was soll der Plot?
Den Disclaimer am Ende, dass der Autor auf keinerlei reales Ereignis oder Personen Bezug nimmt, hätte er sich sparen können.

Geschichte
Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped. They all borrowed heavily to attend a third-tier, for-profit law school so mediocre that its graduates rarely pass the bar exam, let alone get good jobs. And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

Geschichte
The incomparable master of the legal thriller takes us deeper into the labyrinth that is the American justice system, always drawing us in with an irresistible hook, pulling the thread of tension tighter and tighter, and then knocking us out with a conclusion that's never "by the book". Maybe that's why, after more than 20 years of consecutive number-one New York Times best sellers, a new novel by America's favorite storyteller is still a major publishing event.

Samantha, though, is one of the "lucky" associates. She's offered an opportunity to work at a legal aid clinic for one year without pay, after which there would be a slim chance that she'd get her old job back. In a matter of days Samantha moves from Manhattan to Brady, Virginia, population 2,200, in the heart of Appalachia, a part of the world she has only read about.
