Fave Book # 2: The Brethren by Johhn Grisham

Here is another one of John Grisham's work that stars people who stand to use the law and their knowledge of it for their personal benefit.




Three ex-judges, also known as the Brethren, doing time in a federal prison called The Trumble in Florida fine tunes a perfectly wicked extortion scam. They make use of all the time in world contemplating about their own lives. One was sent up for a murderous drunken joyride, the one for tax evasion and the third one for skimming bingo profits.

Meanwhile outside the Trumble, a controversial presidential election is taking place and one candidate is plunging into fame fast. With his timely political message and surprisingly, huge amount of money that no other candidate in history has ever had, he sends the whole nation on its grips. This includes the Brethren, because for them they just found the perfect victim. It’s now or never. What they don’t know is that a shady government figure is manipulating a very hidden and deadly string.

Now, while sitting in the prison library, they must come up with a fool-proof way to outsmart their victim. Because the timing couldn’t be perfect.
