About the book
Trumble is a minimum-security federal prison, home to drug dealers, bank robbers and three former judges known as The Brethren.
Each day in the law library, The Brethren spend hours fine-tuning their mail scam, and it's starting to pay big.
But when their scam goes awry and ensnares the wrong victim - a powerful man on the outside - they're in trouble. Because this man has dangerous friends.
Just as the prison failed to protect society from The Brethren, it won't protect them from their victims...
