Teaser:
Trumble was a minimum security federal prison with the usual mix of relatively harmless inmates, swindlers, tax evaders, two Wall Street crooks, a doctor, at least five lawyers - and three former judges who call themselves The Brethren. They meet each day in the law library, handling cases for other inmates, dispensing jail house justice when necessary - and writing letters. Lots of letters. They are fine-tuning a mail scam and the money is pouring in. Unfortunately their scam ensnares the wrong victim, a powerful man on the outside, a man with dangerous friends, and The Brethren's days of quietly marking time are over.
