ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“The Broker” by John Grisham follows Joel Backman, a former Washington D.C. lobbyist who, after being granted a presidential pardon, is thrust into a dangerous game of international intrigue. Once a powerful figure, Backman is now forced into hiding under a new identity in Bologna, Italy, after his involvement in the illegal sale of a dangerous satellite hacking software known as "JAM." As global powers close in on him, Backman must navigate espionage, betrayal, and moral dilemmas. The novel explores themes of power, corruption, redemption, and the ethical complexities of espionage and global politics.
