Ray Atlee, a law professor in Virginia, receives a formal request to return to his family home in Clanton, Mississippi. His father, a once formidable judge now nearing death, wants Ray and his younger brother Forrest to discuss the estate. Ray reluctantly travels south, carrying the discomfort of an unhappy personal life and a strained family history. But the meeting never takes place: the judge dies before it can happen, leaving Ray with a discovery he cannot explain. What begins as the business of settling an estate becomes a private and increasingly dangerous mystery. John Grisham follows a son confronting his father's hidden life and the possibility that someone else knows the truth.
