Ray Atlee is a professor of law at the University of Virginia. He"s forty-three, newly single, and still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. He has a younger brother, Forrest, who redefines the notion of a family"s black sheep.And he has a father, a very sick old man who lives alone in the ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi. He is known to all as Judge Atlee, a beloved and powerful official who has towered over local law and politics for forty years. No longer on the bench, the Judge has withdrawn to the Atlee mansion and become a recluse.With the end in sight, Judge Atlee issues a summons for both sons to return home to Clanton, to discuss the details of his estate. It is typed by the Judge himself, on his handsome old stationery, and gives the date and time for Ray and Forrest to appear in his study.Ray reluctantly heads south, to his hometown, to the place where he grew up, which he prefers now to avoid. But the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray.And perhaps someone else.

John Grisham, one of America's most prolific of bestselling authors, bring us yet another taught, and tightly wound mystery suspense thiller of the first magnitude. The summons, comes from Ray Arlee's father, Judge Arlee, to return home to the family estate in a small southern town. The occasion is his impending death, and he wants to discuss family matters with Ray, a law professor, and Ray's brother, Forrest, the all-time winner for family black sheep of family black sheep. But, Judge Arlee dies before the meeting takes place, not only leaving their unfinished meeting behind, but a shocking secret only he and Ray knew ... and perhaps one other. This Grisham novel will draw you in and capture your imagination from page 1 to page 341.
