If the only occasion that you can find it is in one particular book I would assume that it is something that the author made up and is unique. Or else it is a misprint peculiar to that book.

Does anyone know what "rackin' threes" means? It is probably police jargon if that helps any. The book I am proofing has it. Part way through the book, many words that begin with the letter r have the space before them and the r removed. So I thought it was probably one of these errors, but wasn't sure. To see if it was a real phrase (and what it might mean), I put it into google with quotes around it. The single item returned (and I don't know if I've ever gotten only a single item returned from google before) was the line from the book on books.google.comSo, I know the phrase is in the book as I thought, but I still haven't a clue what it means.Misha To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
