The Brethren / John Grisham. - 448p. ; 17cm. - The Brethren .
They call themselves the Brethren: Three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison. One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo profits. And the third, for a career-ending drunken joyride. Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong. Or they can use their time in prison to get very rich - very fast. And so they sit, sprawled in the prison librar, furiously writing letters, fine-tuning a wickedly brilliant extortion scam... while events outside their prison wallls begin to erupt. A bizarre presidential election is holding the nation in its grips-and a powerful government figure is pulling some very hidden strings. For the Brethren, the timing couldnt be better. Because they've just found the prefect victim...
