Grisham moves out of the courtroom for this, despite the title. A man returning to his boyhood home to settle his father's estate finds a huge pile of cash which cannot be accounted for. His machinations to simultaneously hide it, discover its source, and make use of it, form the basis of the novel. Not bedtime reading, unless you enjoy lying awake half the night thinking "What would I do in his shoes?"
