One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo profits. The third for a career-ending drunken joyride. Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong. Or they can use their time in prison to get very rich--very fast. And so they sit, sprawled in the prison library, furiously writing letters, fine-tuning a wickedly brilliant extortion scam--while events outside their prison walls begin to erupt. A bizarre presidential election is holding the nation in its grips, and a powerful government figure is pulling some very hidden strings. For the Brethren, the timing couldn't be better. Because they've just found the perfect victim. 521 8 $a 810. 650 0 $a Judges $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prisoners $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Swindlers and swindling $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Legal stories. $2 gsafd. 941 $a 1 952 $l HZPA135 $d 20151021012200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F11C242277BB11E5A8A0F1EFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
