In a federal prison in Florida, three disgraced former judges call themselves the Brethren. Their legal careers are over, but their appetite for money remains intact. Working from the prison library, they devise a letter-writing extortion scheme that promises to make their sentences unexpectedly profitable. Outside the walls, a presidential election is taking shape under the influence of a powerful government figure with plans of his own. When the judges identify a seemingly ideal victim, their private racket becomes entangled with forces far beyond their control. John Grisham combines prison intrigue, blackmail and political manipulation in a thriller about clever men discovering how dangerous the wrong secret can be.
