  About The broker audio book

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?

 

Awesome read!! "This book held my attention and really made me want to listen to the whole thing all the way through. Grisham really leaves you wondering how to feel about the main character, who seems likeable enough NOW, but perhaps not so likeable earlier on. If you like Italy or things Italian, you'll love this book. I know nothing of either except for the food, of course, but still loved the book. Michael Beck is a GREAT reader in my opinion. I specifically picked this version of the book due to Beck's reading of The Summons, which is also a great read. He maintains a good pace and speaks clearly. His rendering of the character's voices is very good without being distracting. I honestly plan on looking for other books read by Beck." Reviewer: Brian, from Loves Park, IL, USA
