The Brethren: The perfect scam: the wrong victim. Trumble is a minimum security federal prison, home to drug dealers, bank robbers, swindlers, embezzlers, tax evaders, and three former judges who call themselves The Brethren. They meet each day in the law library where they spend hours writing letters. They are fine-tuning a mail scam, and it’s starting to really work and the money is pouring in. Then their scam goes awry…..
The Summons: Ray Atlee is a professor of law at the university of Viriginia who is forty-three and newly single. He has a father, a very sick old man who lives alone in the ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi: a beloved and powerful official who has towered over local law and politics for many years and is now a recluse. With the end in sight, Judge Atlee issues a summons for Ray to return, but the meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray…..and perhaps someone else!
