About this audiobook
They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison.
One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo profits. And the third, for a career-ending drunken joyride.
Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong.
Or they can use their time in prison to get very rich -- very fast. And so they sit, sprawled in the prison library, furiously writing letters, fine-tuning a wickedly brilliant extortion scam ... while events outside their prison walls begin to erupt.
A bizarre presidential election is holding the nation in its grips -- and a powerful government figure is pulling some very hidden strings. For the Brethren, the timing couldn't be better. Because they've just found the perfect victim...
Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

I've read this book in hard cover when it first came out and couldn't put it down! Several years later it was left to me on cassette so I listened to it during my bath time while my boys were in school. Now it's 15 years later and I can't wait to begin my audio collection starting with this one!
