Shark's racket (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usury

(Other definitions for usury that I've seen before include "Extortionate moneylending" , "Lending of money at exorbitant interest" , "Lending at high interest rates" , "Demanding excessive interest" , "Money-lending at exorbitant rates" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
