Produktbeschreibung
Three former judges known as the ""Brethren"" are detained at Trumble, a fictitious federal minimum security facility situated in northern Florida. The trio starts a scheme to trick and take advantage of affluent homosexual guys who aren't out. Despite the fact that none of them are homosexual, they write effectively as two gay young guys who have become friends and are in need of financial assistance. In the meanwhile, Aaron Lake, a hawkish congressman backed by the armaments industry, is being favoured in the United States presidential race by Teddy Maynard, the ruthless and soon-to-retire head of the CIA. However, the unaware Brethren manage to con Lake, who is a closeted man. Maynard rushes to prevent them from learning the truth because he knows Lake might be exposed if they do. Carson is assassinated by CIA operatives in the Caribbean after being fired by the Brethren. Trumble was infiltrated by the CIA with a guy, who informs the Brethren that he is aware of the con. Judges are pardoned, a settlement is negotiated, and money is exchanged-but only after Maynard sends them abroad to hide his participation.
Autorenporträt
Sir Henry Rider Haggard, born on June 22, 1856, in Bradenham, United Kingdom, was a prominent English writer known for his adventure fiction, particularly those set in exotic locations like Africa. His novels often blend thrilling adventures with elements of fantasy and exploration. Haggard was also active in land reform efforts across the British Empire, advocating for improvements in the lives of indigenous peoples. He married Mariana Louisa Margitson in 1880, with whom he had two daughters. Haggard's parents were William Meybohm Rider Haggard and Ella Doveton. Andrew Lang, born March 31, 1844, in Selkirk, United Kingdom, was a Scottish poet, novelist, and literary critic, best known for collecting folk and fairy tales. A scholar with a broad range of interests, Lang contributed to anthropology and was a notable figure at the University of St Andrews, where the Andrew Lang lectures were named in his honor. Lang's marriage to Leonora Blanche Alleyne in 1875 marked a personal chapter in his life. His legacy is deeply embedded in children's literature, with his fairy tale collections remaining influential. Lang passed away on July 20, 1912, in Banchory, United Kingdom.
