Not a typical John Grisham novel in that it does not deal directly with a courtroom and trial, but it does involve a former judge...old and dying..who summons his two sons back to his sprawling ancestral home to discuss his estate and how he wants it handled. But he doesn't live long enough to make his wishes known and it's up to the sons to discover what he wanted done...and along with it secrets that have been buried for a long time.
