The novel grows from two separate subplots. In the first, three imprisoned ex-judges (the "brethren" in the title), frustrated by their loss of power and influence, concoct an elaborate blackmail scheme that preys on wealthy, closeted gay men. The second story traces the rise of presidential candidate Aaron Lake, a puppet essentially created by CIA director Teddy Maynard to fulfill Maynard's plans for restoring the power of his beleaguered agency.

Blurb in Spanish:
Trumble es una prisión criminal de mínima seguridad, el hogar de una serie de criminales «inofensivos»: ladrones de bancos, traficantes de droga, estafadores, un médico, cinco abogados... y tres jueces. Estos se hacen llamar "La hermandad" y cada día se reúnen en la sección jurídica de la biblioteca, desde donde trabajan en los casos de otros internos, redactan informes, dispensan justicia carcelaria y hacen chantaje por correo, con el que multiplican sus ingresos. Pero, un día, una de las víctimas de la extorsión es alguien con quien habría sido mejor no involucrarse... John Grisham obtuvo el éxito literario con su segunda novela, La tapadera. A partir de entonces, sus obras han sido recibidas con entusiasmo por parte del público, la crítica y la industria cinematográfica, que ha adaptado muchas de sus obras. Ha sido el autor más vendido de los noventa.
