The Broker

Joel Backman is "the Broker"- a Washington power broker-lobbyist. But his life falls apart when a deal collapses involving a hacked spy satellite that nobody acknowledges, and Backman ends up in jail. Six years later, the political wheels in Washington have turned and other power hungry men are eager for his blood. So, bargains are made and an outgoing disgraced president grants him a full pardon at the behest of the CIA and he finds himself spirited out of the prison in the middle of the night, bundled onto a military plane and headed to Italy for a new life, with a new name and a bunch of mysterious new "friends" who will teach him to speak the language and to blend in with the people of the city of Bologna. But something isn't quite kosher in this new setup and he is under constant surveillance. His own government is setting him up for professional assassins from at least five countries and the CIA intends to sit back and wait to see which one gets him first, trying to solve the biggest mystery to hit the US government in decades.
