THE BROKER by John Grisham
Meeting Date: FRIDAY, July 20th at Noon - New & Final date and time!!! is....
MONDAY, July 30th at 11:30 at PRIMOS (corner of Sunset Blvd. & Fairway in Rocklin)

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?
