Simon Latch, a lawyer grappling with debt, a gambling habit, and a crumbling marriage, sees a lifeline when 85-year-old Eleanor Barnett hires him to draft a new will. She quietly reveals a hidden $20 million fortune, promising a windfall for the struggling attorney. This legal thriller, the first volume in the series The Widow: the unforgettable new courtroom drama from the master of the legal thriller!, follows Simon as he works discreetly to manage her wealth.

But secrecy breeds trouble. When Eleanor is hospitalized after a car accident, long-buried secrets surface, and Simon finds himself accused of a murder he insists he did not commit. A gripping courtroom drama and confounding murder mystery, this crime and suspense novel weaves together elements of psychological tension and international intrigue, defining a new chapter in American fiction from the 21st century.
