Grisham at his irresistible best — with a fresh twist.
Simon Latch, a small-town Virginia lawyer barely keeping his practice afloat, gets an unexpected visit from Eleanor Barnett — an elderly widow with a hidden fortune and a new will. But when murder strikes, Simon finds himself accused, and must race to uncover the real killer before his life collapses entirely. John Grisham's first true whodunit blends his trademark courtroom tension with small-town secrets and compulsive mystery.
Perfect for fans of The Whistler, The Judge's List, or A Time to Kill — but expect a fresh flavour of suspense, closer to a whodunit than his usual legal thrillers. Classic Grisham tension with a new mystery twist.
