The Brethren, as they are called, are three former southern judges, serving time together in a federal prison for various bad deeds, which have taken away their frredom and their status in the community. However, inside the prison, they continue to practice law without a liscense, and concoct a blackmail scheme that begins making them some money, that is, until they bag a powerful 'mark'who could jeopardize everything. As usual, John Grisham keeps you on the edge of your seat, right til the end. | ||
