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....

內容簡介

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.

精彩書評

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.

我覺的買貴瞭,大傢看圖吧。

很好,很好,很好 上周周六,閑來無事,上午上瞭一個上午網,想起好久沒買書瞭,似乎我買書有點上癮,一段時間不逛書店就周身不爽,難道男人逛書店就象女人逛商場似的上癮?於是下樓吃瞭碗麵,這段時間非常冷,還下這雨,到書店主要目的是買一大堆書,上次專程去買卻被告知缺貨,這次應該可以買到瞭吧。可是到一樓的查詢處問,小姐卻說昨天剛到的一批又賣完瞭!暈!為什麼不多進點貨,於是上京東挑選書。好瞭,廢話不說。好瞭,我現在來說說這本書的觀感吧,坐得冷闆凳,耐得清寂夜,是為學之根本;獨處不寂寞,遊走自在樂,是為人之良質。潛心學問,風姿初顯。喜愛獨處,以窺視內心,反觀自我;砥礪思想,磨礪意誌。學與詩,文與思;青春之神思飛揚與學問之靜寂孤獨本是一種應該的、美好的平衡。在中國傳統文人那裏,詩人性情,學者本分,一脈相承久矣。現在講究“術業有專攻”,分界逐漸明確,詩與學漸離漸遠。此脈懸若一綫,惜乎。我青年遊曆治學,晚年迴首成書,記憶清新如初,景物曆曆如昨。揮發詩人情懷,摹寫學者本分,意足矣,足已矣。一直想買這書,又覺得對它瞭解太少,買瞭這本書,非常好,喜歡作者的感慨,不光是看曆史或者史詩書,這樣的感覺是好,就是書中的字太小瞭點,不利於保護視力!等瞭我2個星期,快遞送到瞭傳達室也不來個電話,自己打京東客服查到的。書是正版。現在,京東域名正式更換為JDCOM。其中的“JD”是京東漢語拼音(JING DON|G)首字母組閤。從此,您不用再特意記憶京東的域名,也無需先搜索再點擊,隻要在瀏覽器輸入JD.COM,即可方便快捷地訪問京東,實現輕鬆購物。名為“Joy”的京東吉祥物我很喜歡,TA承載著京東對我們的承諾和努力。狗以對主人忠誠而著稱,同時也擁有正直的品行,和快捷的奔跑速度。太喜愛京東瞭。|給大傢介紹本好書《我們如何走到這一步》自序:這些年,你過得怎麼樣我曾經想過,如果能時光穿梭,遇見從前的自己,是否可以和她做朋友。但我審慎地不敢發錶意見。因為從前的自己是多麼無知,這件事是很清楚的。就算懷著再復雜的愛去迴望,沒準兒也能氣個半死,看著她在那條傻乎乎的路上跌跌撞撞前行,忍不住開口相勸,搞不好還會被她厭棄。你看天下的事情往往都是一廂情願。當然我也忍住瞭各種吐槽,人總是要給自己留餘地的,因為還有一種可能是,未來的自己迴望現在,看見的還是一個人。好在現在不敢輕易放狠話瞭,所以總算顯得比年輕的時候還有一分從容。但不管什麼時候的你,都是你。這時間軸上反復上演的就是打怪獸的過程。過去睏擾你的事情,現在已可輕易解決,但往往還有更大的boss在前麵等你。“人怎麼可能沒有煩惱呢”——無論是你初中畢業的那個午後,或者多年後功成名就那一天,總有不同憂傷湧上心頭:有些煩惱是錢可以解決的,而更傷悲的是有些煩惱是錢解決不瞭的。我們曾經在年少時想象的“等到什麼什麼的時候就一切都好起來瞭”根本就是個謬論。所以,隻能咬著牙繼續朝前走吧。
