The following is quoted from the author's website:
"Trumble is a minimum-security federal prison, a “camp,” home to the usual assortment of relatively harmless criminals–drug dealers, bank robbers, swindlers, embezzlers, tax evaders, two Wall Street crooks, one doctor, at least five lawyers.
And three former judges who call themselves the Brethren: one from Texas, one from California, and one from Mississippi. They meet each day in the law library, their turf at Trumble, where they write briefs, handle cases for other inmates, practice law without a license, and sometimes dispense jailhouse justice. And they spend hours writing letters. They are fine-tuning a mail scam, and it’s starting to really work. The money is pouring in.
Then their little scam goes awry. It ensnares the wrong victim, a powerful man on the outside, a man with dangerous friends, and the Brethren’s days of quietly marking time are over."
I just finished listening to this on audio on my way home from work tonight. To be honest I did not really care for it. I have enjoyed many of John Grisham's books. (My favorite is "The Last Juror", perhaps because I have always had a soft spot for up and coming journalists.) But "The Brethren" did not appeal to me. Click on the author's name and book title above to learn more. Certainly read John Grisham. But I would not recommend you choose this particular book.
