The Widow: the unforgettable new courtroom drama from the master of the legal thriller!

From the undisputed master of the legal thriller, John Grisham, comes a pulse-pounding new novel that pits a desperate lawyer against a web of secrets, lies, and a murder he swears he didn't commit. With over 350 million copies sold worldwide and ten blockbuster film adaptations, Grisham once again proves why he is the gold standard of courtroom drama and suspense.

When debt-ridden lawyer Simon Latch is hired by Eleanor Barnett, an 85-year-old widow claiming to sit on a hidden $20 million fortune, he thinks his luck has finally changed. But Eleanor's secrets run deeper than anyone imagined, and when she is suddenly hospitalized, Simon is thrust into a nightmare: accused of her murder and forced to defend himself in a high-stakes trial where nothing is as it seems. Combining classic legal intrigue with a confounding mystery, The Widow is a taut, compulsive read that will grip Grisham's legions of fans and new readers alike.
