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?
From the Hardcover edition.

Compare to classics, I always feel that John Grisham's book is like junk food, always easy and feel good. It is interesting to see how the author plays with the Italian adoration while myself knowing, or having been to most places he mentioned. Molto interessante :)
评分十分符合印象中的美国作者形象 动不动就CIA FBI 怀疑全世界都在算计他们 永远在吐槽总统傻逼 关于意大利的咖啡时尚风景历史描写是唯一的亮点
