The Testament
Published: February 1999
Down to the last day, even the last hour now. I’m an old man, lonely and unloved, sick and hurting and tired of living. I am ready for the hereafter; it has to be better than this.
Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the United States. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die. His heirs, are circling like vultures. Nate O’Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who’s lived too hard, too fast, for too long. He is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab. 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.

this terrific book made me think mr grisham’s a good christian.
This is the great, great read. I lived in this book. I can even remember the music that was playing when I read this book. Thank you Mr. Grisham
I LOVE this book, It makes me sad it has to end. You really start to feel part of the story and become involved. I love it!
I am happy with the ending but sad that the story came to an end. Thanks again Mr Grisham for a wonderful story!
