| The Broker - John Grisham |
In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing
President grants a controversial last-minute pardon to Joel Backman, a
notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years hidden away
in a federal prison. What no one knows is that the President issues the pardon
only after receiving enormous pressure from the CIA. It seems Backman, in his
power broker heyday, may have obtained secrets that compromise the world’s most
sophisticated satellite surveillance system. Backman is quietly smuggled out of
the country in a military cargo plane, given a new name, a new identity, and a
new home in Italy. Eventually, after he has settled into his new life, the CIA
will leak his whereabouts to the Israelis, the Russians, the Chinese, and the
Saudis. Then the CIA will do what it does best: sit back and watch. The
question is not whether Backman will survive—there is no chance of that. The
question the CIA needs answered is, who will kill him?
