Title: The BrethrenAuthor: John Grisham
Pages: 440
Genre: Legal Thriller
Grade: B
Synopsis: Three judges in federal prison have concocted a scam to snare and extort money from closet homosexuals who answer to an ad in a gay lifestyle magazine. They end up snaring a presidential candidate that is being secretly fronted by the CIA, which causes the CIA to get involved in the scam in order to protect their candidate.
My Review: I felt that the premise behind this story was the weakest of any John Grisham book that I have read. The story was still interesting and enjoyable, but it was missing the excitement and intrigue that is typically present in a Grisham thriller.
From the Book: "(p. 88) What would his friends think? The Honorable Hatlee Beech, federal judge, writing prose like a faggot, extorting money out of innocent people."
