Another of Grisham's legal dramas---a page turner that I could not put down. Set in Clanton, Mississippi, the characterizations and family relationships draw the reader into the mystery. Judge Atlee has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clanton to discuss his estate. Ray Atlee is the elder son who is a law professor, dealing with a surprise divorce. Forrest is the younger brother who has multiple issues. A shocking secret follows "the summons."
