I am a big John Grisham fan and I thought that this was a very good book. It is about this very wealthy old man who keeps writing and changing his wills and takes out all the kids and exwives out of the will, so the kids bring in these psychologists to prove that he is uncompitent to change the will. Well they find that there is nothing wrong with him and they declare him competant so he signs the new will that his attorney has prepared for him. Well after everyone leaves the room, he signs a holographic will which is declared to be legal and then just as the family is walking out the door, he get up out of his wheelchair, runs across the room and jumps to his death. Well in the holographic will it leaves everything to an illigitimate daughter that lives in the Brazillian jungle that no one knew about. The hunt now begins for her as she is a missionary. Will she want the money?
