DESCRIPTION:
After a harrowing trip upriver to a remote settlement in the Pantanal, he encounters Rachel Lane, a pure-hearted missionary living with an indigenous tribe and carrying out "God's work." Rachel's grave dedication and kindness impress the jaded lawyer, so much that a nasty bout of dengue fever leads him to a vision that could change his life. --Rebekah Warren. Our hero, Nate O'Riley--a washed-up, alcoholic litigator with two ruined marriages in his wake and the IRS on his tail--is dispatched to the Brazilian wetlands in search of a mysterious heir named in the will. Back in the Stat
Nate O'Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long. Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the United States. In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure their lives are forever altered by the startling secret of The Testament.. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die.

One of the Best Books on the Market This is the best book ever. I immediately shared it with my brother & his wife as my brother had been to the exact same places our hero went on down the Amazon River. My brother even contracted the same disease as our hero, and almost died also. This book is so good that I buy used copies & send them to soldiers overseas as it is a book that is so intriguing & entertaining, as well as character development. The Painted House & The Last Juror as also my favorites by Grisham. I send those overseas also. Grisham is the best writer in America.. Huge estate leads to intrigue. This is not your usual John Grisham novel, even though ti involves a surprise bequest, and the search for the "lost" recipient, with opposition from people who thought they would inherit the very large estate. The main character searches through wet, alligator-infested swamp land to find a young woman who does not want to be found. Tantalizing tales about why this situation exists make it all hang together. It's the setting that makes this a very interesting, readable book. I recommend it!. EMOTIONALLY ELATING!
