The Testament

About this book

In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewritting 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 Brazil jungles, entering a world where money means notthing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman-pursued by enemies and friends alike- holds a stunning surprise of her own.
