Publisher Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the United States.  He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die.  His heirs, to no one's surprise—especially Troy's—are circling like vultures. Nate O'Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long.  His second marriage in a shambles, and he is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab armed with little more than his fragile sobriety, good intentions, and resilient sense of humor.  Returning to the real world is always difficult, but this time it's going to be murder. Rachel Lane is a young woman who chose to give her life to God, who walked away from the modern world with all its strivings and trappings and encumbrances, and went to live and work with a primitive tribe of Indians in the deepest jungles of Brazil. In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure, their lives are forever altered by the startling secret of The Testament.

"There was something about this book that really touched me. Can't put my finger on it but unlike most of the characters of J. Grisham's work, I wanted this one to win & that's a stretch b/c I'm usually not the rainbows & satchels of gold, all is right in the world now, happy ending book lover."

    " A very compelling and engaging story, more of an adventure than the more typical lawyer-ish tales that we are used to from Grisham. There is a strong redemption theme as well. "

    " Great story. However, the narrator sounds like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. That took a lot away from the story, as all I could see was a mean, old, bald man. Five stars for the storyline. Two stars for the reader. "
