The widow
John Grisham / Modern
John Grisham, the New York Times bestselling author, is a master of legal thrillers. Now he returns with his first-ever who-did-it detective novel, and it's even more suspenseful than his courtroom dramas - because this time the hero is accused of murder and must find the real killer to prove his innocence.
Simon Latch is a lawyer in a rural Virginia town, struggling to make ends meet while his marriage slowly crumbles. Until one day, Eleanor Burnett, an elderly widow who needs a new will, walks into his office. It turns out that her husband has left her a fortune, but no one knows about it.
Having landed the richest client of his career, Simon works covertly to keep her wealth under the radar. But her story slowly begins to unravel. When she is hospitalized after a car accident, Simon realizes that nothing is as he thought, and finds himself on trial for a murder he claims he never committed.
Simon knows he's innocent. But he also knows that all the circumstantial evidence points to him, and that he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. To save himself, he must find the real killer.
All of John Grisham's bestsellers, including The Firm, The Rainmaker, The Judge's List, Partners and Rivals, and The Exchange, were published in Hebrew by Modan Publishing.
