Publisher Description

In his final hours in the Oval Office, the outgoing President grants a full pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious Washington power broker who's spent the last six years in a federal prison.

Unbeknownst to the public, his 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's given a new identity and home in Italy. He thinks he is free. But the CIA will soon leak his whereabouts to countries around the world.

Someone is certain to kill Joel Backman.

The question is: who?

Pedro Saunders ,

Return to form

Much more like the old Grisham, thrills, suspense and action rather than the over moralising boredom of 'The Chamber' etc....
Can't reccomend this book enough for fans of the early Grisham work and right up there with the likes of 'The Brethren' and 'The Firm' as his best work.

Thoroughly enjoyed the read and know others will too, BUY!

A great great read.

What is there not to like about John Grisham. The only thing is you can’t put the book down until you’ve read it all. No point in telling you what it’s about, read it for yourself then you will know. It’s excellent.
