Another great book by Grisham. (I listened to the audio book and it is very well done.) This story takes place in Ford County, Texas. This is the same locale used in a previous book (A Time to Kill). The main character in that book was lawyer Jake Brigance and he is still trying to make a living in Clanton. He gets his latest case when a letter arrives at his office. It was from Seth Hubbard (whom Jake did not know) and he wanted to hire Jake to see that his will and last wishes were carried out. It is a little complicated because Seth had just hanged himself the day before. The will he sent to Jacob was hand-written and the majority of his very large estate was left to his black housekeeper, Lettie. Seth also left behind many relatives who can't wait to inherit the fortune. It is going to be a tough battle. Jake wants to see Seth's wishes fulfilled - and some serious income for his family would be very, very helpful at this time.
I always find Grisham's books entertaining and this one was no exception.
