I started reading a new book about a man on death row that was pardon by the president. What is the title?

Question

I started this book and never finished. It was about someone on death row who received a presidential pardon. He was then taken out of the country and ended up in Italy where people were planning on killing him. I can't remember the title or author.

Answer 1

I think you mean The Broker by John Grisham. He wasn't on death row but I think he was supposed to be in jail for 20 or 30 years. The rest matches your plot.
