The Testament


In a plush Virgnia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. with his death just hours away, troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.
Because troy Phelan's new will names a sole surprise heir to his $11B fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary deep in the jungle of Brazil.
Enters the lawyers. Nate O'Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his latest job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. as Phelan's family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman-pursued by enemies and friends alike- holds a stunning surprise of her own...

this by the way is the 2nd book by john grisham that i read. it took me by surprise on how the story goes so well that is why in just 3 days i finished the book. the ending kind'f breaks my heart though, its really sad how grisham decided to end it that way. *sigh*
