The Broker
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • 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?

Thoroughly engaging. Pick it up and you won’t want to put it down. - Jackie-the-Critic

Loved learning about Italy, the language but the suspense was what kept me from putting the book down!

Not bad enough for me to stop reading and trash it but close. Was I reading a travel magazine or sitting in on an Italian language school?

The author has such an amazing way of keeping the reader intrigued.

With throw of a dart John Grisham chooses a great place for this character to start his adventures of freedom. The more I read about this guy, the more I come to like him. This is by far one of Grisham's better works. The more I read about Italy, the more I wanted to understand the language and sample the cuisine.
