Dark marks on upper page edges, handwritten name on front endpaper; pages otherwise clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree former judges serving time in a low-security federal prison have developed a profitable sideline. Calling themselves the Brethren, they use correspondence and carefully chosen identities to draw wealthy men into a blackmail scheme, arranging matters from behind bars with help outside. Meanwhile, a powerful intelligence chief is promoting a little-known politician towards the American presidency. The two operations seem to inhabit entirely different worlds until one of the prisoners' targets proves far more consequential than expected. Suddenly, a routine confidence trick threatens interests with the power to silence its creators. John Grisham combines legal ingenuity, political manipulation and dark humour in a thriller about men who mistake cleverness for control.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67734102802644,"sku":"TVJ-034546","price":10.35,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-034546-1.jpg?v=1792031459","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/tvj-034546","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
