    Story
    (25)

    Who is the Racketeer? 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. On 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.

    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    The ending falls short.. It seemed the book needed to end so the author throws this outrageous ending in for us to swallow.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Back to Biography's- Who Killed Kennedy and Lincoln


    Have you listened to any of J. D. Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Racketeer?

    I would have rewritten the ending


    Any additional comments?

    Disappointing
