About this listen
In a plush Virginia 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 eleven-billion-dollar fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary living deep in the jungles of Brazil.
Enter the lawyers. Nate O’Riley is fresh out of rehab, handpicked for his last job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. As Phelan’s family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate goes 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.
Critic Reviews
“A compulsory page-turner.”—Newsweek
“Entertaining.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Absorbing . . . The pages fly by.”—Chicago Tribune
“His hordes of fans won’t be disappointed: Grisham includes his trademark legal wrangling, zippy plot and engaging minor characters. The Testament is unabashedly spiritual without being doctrinaire.”—USA Today
“Seductive . . . Grisham knows how to tell a story.”—The Denver Post
“Complex and satisfying.”—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“The first two chapters . . . are good, dirty fun. Grisham shows a new lightness of touch here: the parts of The Testament that deal with the legal profession fairly snap along.”—Los Angeles Times
“Holds the reader to the end . . . The Testament straddles two worlds: the familiar haunts of courtrooms, legal conferences, and judges chambers and the exotic wilds of Brazil.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Grisham fans . . . will love The Testament. He’s a master of character and motivation.”—The Plain Dealer
“Grisham writes with insider knowledge, an expert appreciation of the elegant legal gambit, and real relish at the unexpected things that can come out when smart, principled lawyers who’ve done their homework ask dishonest witnesses the right questions.”—The Boston Globe
