Heart of darkness...
In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. With his death just hours away, Troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.
Because Troy Phelan's new will names a sole surprise heir to his eleven-billion-dollar fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary living deep in the jungles of Brazil.
Enter the lawyers. Nate O'Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his last job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. As Phelan's family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman--pursued by enemies and friends alike--holds a stunning surprise of her own....

内容简介

Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the U.S. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die. His heirs, to no one's surprise -- especially Troy's -- are circling like vultures.

Nate O' Reilly is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long. His second marriage is in a shambles, he is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab armed with little more than his fragile sobriety, good intentions, and resilient sense of humor. Returning to the real world is always difficult, but this time it's going to be murder.

Rachel Lane is a young woman who chose to give her life to God, who walked away from the modern world with all its strivings and trappings and encumbrances, and went to live and work with a primitive tribe of Indians in the deepest jungles of Brazil. In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure, their lives are forever altered by the startling secret of The Testament.

精彩书评

Troy Phelan, a 78-year-old eccentric and the 10th-richest man in America, is about to read his last will and testament, divvying up an estate worth $11 billion. Phelan's three ex-wives, their grasping spawn, a legion of lawyers, several psychiatrists, and a plethora of sound technicians wait breathlessly, all eyes glued to digital monitors as they watch the old man read his verdict. But Phelan shocks everyone with a bizarre, last-gasp attempt to redistribute the spoils, setting in motion a legal morality tale of a contested will, sin, and redemption.
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. 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.
Back in the States, the legal proceedings drag on and Grisham has a high time with Phelan's money-hungry descendents, a regrettable bunch who squandered millions, married strippers, got druggy, and befriended the Mob. The youngest son, Ramble, is a multi-pierced, tattoo-covered malcontent with big dreams for his rock band, the Demon Monkeys. Will Nate get straight with Rachel's aid? Do the greedy heirs get theirs? What's the real legacy of a lifetime's work? The Testament is classic Grisham: a down-and-out lawyer, a lot of money, an action-packed pursuit, and the highest issues at stake. It's not just about great characters; it's about the question of what character is.

很好，很好，很好 上周周六，闲来无事，上午上了一个上午网，想起好久没买书了，似乎我买书有点上瘾，一段时间不逛书店就周身不爽，难道男人逛书店就象女人逛商场似的上瘾？于是下楼吃了碗面，这段时间非常冷，还下这雨，到书店主要目的是买一大堆书，上次专程去买却被告知缺货，这次应该可以买到了吧。可是到一楼的查询处问，小姐却说昨天刚到的一批又卖完了！晕！为什么不多进点货，于是上京东挑选书。好了，废话不说。好了，我现在来说说这本书的观感吧，坐得冷板凳，耐得清寂夜，是为学之根本；独处不寂寞，游走自在乐，是为人之良质。潜心学问，风姿初显。喜爱独处，以窥视内心，反观自我；砥砺思想，磨砺意志。学与诗，文与思；青春之神思飞扬与学问之静寂孤独本是一种应该的、美好的平衡。在中国传统文人那里，诗人性情，学者本分，一脉相承久矣。现在讲究“术业有专攻”，分界逐渐明确，诗与学渐离渐远。此脉悬若一线，惜乎。我青年游历治学，晚年回首成书，记忆清新如初，景物历历如昨。挥发诗人情怀，摹写学者本分，意足矣，足已矣。一直想买这书，又觉得对它了解太少，买了这本书，非常好，喜欢作者的感慨，不光是看历史或者史诗书，这样的感觉是好，就是书中的字太小了点，不利于保护视力！等了我2个星期，快递送到了传达室也不来个电话，自己打京东客服查到的。书是正版。现在，京东域名正式更换为JDCOM。其中的“JD”是京东汉语拼音（JING DON|G）首字母组合。从此，您不用再特意记忆京东的域名，也无需先搜索再点击，只要在浏览器输入JD.COM，即可方便快捷地访问京东，实现轻松购物。名为“Joy”的京东吉祥物我很喜欢，TA承载着京东对我们的承诺和努力。狗以对主人忠诚而著称，同时也拥有正直的品行，和快捷的奔跑速度。太喜爱京东了。|给大家介绍本好书《我们如何走到这一步》自序：这些年，你过得怎么样我曾经想过，如果能时光穿梭，遇见从前的自己，是否可以和她做朋友。但我审慎地不敢发表意见。因为从前的自己是多么无知，这件事是很清楚的。就算怀着再复杂的爱去回望，没准儿也能气个半死，看着她在那条傻乎乎的路上跌跌撞撞前行，忍不住开口相劝，搞不好还会被她厌弃。你看天下的事情往往都是一厢情愿。当然我也忍住了各种吐槽，人总是要给自己留余地的，因为还有一种可能是，未来的自己回望现在，看见的还是一个人。好在现在不敢轻易放狠话了，所以总算显得比年轻的时候还有一分从容。但不管什么时候的你，都是你。这时间轴上反复上演的就是打怪兽的过程。过去困扰你的事情，现在已可轻易解决，但往往还有更大的boss在前面等你。“人怎么可能没有烦恼呢”——无论是你初中毕业的那个午后，或者多年后功成名就那一天，总有不同忧伤涌上心头：有些烦恼是钱可以解决的，而更伤悲的是有些烦恼是钱解决不了的。我们曾经在年少时想象的“等到什么什么的时候就一切都好起来了”根本就是个谬论。所以，只能咬着牙继续朝前走吧。
