The Broker

I just finished reading the "The broker" by John Grisham, an alumni of MsState. In fact, there is a library room dedicated to him -- The John Grisham room.

Anyway, coming back to the book, it shows some aspects of lobbying, the spy games, and the human attitude towards survival. Most or rather all of the books from Grisham revolves around a lawyer and contains a lot of political tension. In this novel, he went a step further and went international. Some description of Italian cities/towns, some insight on learning the Italian language, and also into the workings of the world of international assassins like CIA, Mossad, Red China etc (May be complete fiction, but I would like to believe that he did some research before writing). All in all, I would like to say that the book is a good read and a good pass-time.
