Ray Atlee, profesor de Derecho en la Universidad de Virginia, pasa por un momento crítico tras su reciente divorcio, conflicto que viene a sumarse a sus eternos preocupaciones: una relación difícil con un hermano que padece problemas de alcohol y drogas, y un trato muy distante con su progenitor, el juez Atlee. El padre de Ray sigue siendo una figura emblemática en Clanton, Misisipí, después de liderar durante cuarenta años la vida legal y política del candado. Viejo y enfermo, recluido en su decadente mansión, el Juez presidente que su fin está próximo y convoca a sus dos hijos. Ray acude a la llamada, pero al llegar se encuentra a su padre ya muerto junto a un conciso testamento. En el despacho le aguarda una sorpresa aún mayor: el Juez ocultaba en un armario tres millones de dólares en metálico. Un dinero que, al no figurar en el testamento, cuestiona la intachable trayectoria profesional del ex magistrado. ¿Aceptaba el Juez sobornos? ¿Debe Ray informar del hallazgo a su hermano y a las autoridades? Y eso no es todo, porque alguien más parece conocer el secreto.

Work Description
John Grisham's bestselling backlist repackaged with fantastic new coversRay Atlee is a professor of law at the university of Virginia who is forty-three and newly single. He has a father, a very sick old man who lives alone in the ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi; a beloved and powerful official who has towered over local law and politics for many years and is now a recluse. With the end in sight, Judge Atlee issues a summons to Ray to return home to Clanton, to discuss the details of his estate. Ray reluctantly heads south. But the meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray. And perhaps someone else.
