Joel Backman was the most powerful man in Washington D.C., until he pleads guity to espionage in order to be taken into protective custody, to escape the people who want the information he has sole access to, and his life. The U.S. gov't sends him to Italy to hide out, learn the language, and eventually plan to have the people chasing after him find him and kill him.
I like Grisham's novels because he makes legal scenarios interesting and easy to understand. He also delas with real-life decisions and the legal ramifications of those choices. One of my favorite books by him is 'The Rainmaker".
I liked this one because it portrays a once-powerful man running for his life, and trying desperately to try and fit in and learn a language. I know what it is like to learn a new language, and I was curious to see how Grisham tailored the situation. That and I like his storytelling method.
