The BROKER by John Grisham ***

A guy in jail for white collar crimes (stealing information) gets released. The CIA wants to hide him but see who is going to kill him so they know who owns the technology the guy stole. It seems as if EVERYONE on the planet owned the technology cuz they're all trying to kill him. I don't understand that part of the novel. Why are the Israelis trying to kill him? Or the Russians? I don't get it. In any case you are reading about his hiding, learning Italian, (someone must have had a nice trip to Italy cuz you get to read all about it) and him almost falling in love I guess.
I wasn't crazy about it. Very dry writing. No courtroom stuff. No lawyer stuff. One guy responsible for the  murder of about 5 other people doesn't get what he deserves. O well.
Not much of a spy novel either. Mostly it's a travelogue of Italy. Have fun reading it kids.
