The Brethren

Author: John Grisham

Trapped in a low-security federal prison, three disgraced former judges hatch an ingenious mail scam targeting wealthy, closeted gay men. As their scheme grows more lucrative, they unwittingly snare a powerful politician with presidential ambitions. Suddenly, the Brethren find themselves in a high-stakes game of blackmail and deceit, risking everything to keep their con alive. Grisham’s razor-sharp prose and insider knowledge of the legal system create a gripping tale of greed, corruption, and the dangerous pursuit of easy money.

There are no secrets in prison.
