About this listen

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 is 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 humour. 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.

Thanks John and Frank for another listening experience. The names confused me a bit, but that was minor. You’re not right about Apostle Paul John. He frequently referred to his past, even knowing it was forgiven.

I did enjoy the book

The opening was absolutely great, but mostly back and downwards from there. To think anyone could have such a dysfunctional family is about beyond belief. But he was such a contorted twisted chap, it’s no wonder that the family em mass just followed suit. Then the legal eagles really are just too much. Thank God for Rachel else we all should drown ourselves and totally drop any faith in one another. Anyone for grabbing billion or so. Not for me at this inflated over blown price !
