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.
