A-Z Book List Game

[TexasProud]

I'm always looking for great new books to read. Fiction. Non-fiction. History. Mystery. Anything...

Choose a book that you have read and provide the title, author, series name (if applicable), and a brief synopsis.

Beginning with a book title that starts with the letter "A," let's work our way through the alphabet. When we get to "Z," we can continue posting titles working our way backwards through the alphabet, and so forth.

Let's hear some good ones yall!

I'll kick this thing off.... (and I can't think of a better one for "a")

Title: "The Broker"
Author: John Grisham
Synopsis: 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?
