The Broker
Grisham John
Someone is certain to kill Joel Backman.
The question is: who?
In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing President grants a full pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who has spent the last six years in a federal prison.
Unknown to an outraged public, the pardon was the CIA's idea. They claim that Backman may have obtained secrets that would compromise American satellite surveillance.
Smuggled out of the country in a military cargo plane, Backman is given a new identity and a new home in Italy. He thinks he's out. But the CIA will soon leak his whereabouts to the Israelis, the Russians, the Chinese and the Saudis, and then sit back and watch.
The question is not whether Backman will survive – there's no chance of that. The question the CIA needs answered is: who will kill him?

Long before his
name became synonymous with the modern legal thriller, he was working 60-70
hours a week at a small Southaven, Mississippi, law practice, squeezing in time
before going to the office and during courtroom recesses to work on his
hobby—writing his first novel.
Since first
publishing „A Time to Kill“ in 1988, Grisham has written one novel a year (his
other books are „The Firm“, „The Pelican Brief“, „The Client“, „The Chamber“, „The
Rainmaker“, „The Runaway Jury“ etc. and all of them have become international
bestsellers. There are currently over 300 million John Grisham books in print
worldwide, which have been translated into 40 languages. Nine of his novels
have been turned into films.
