On par with the early works of Grisham, this thriller is enlivened with sparkling dialogue and deft descriptions of place. When Henry Matthews is called home from his cutthroat Chicago law firm to execute a will, he comes face to face with all that he hoped he had left behind. Finding himself falling fast into old patterns and haunted by his past, Henry and his newly found allies dig into the generations-old deceptions controlling the fate of Council Grove, Kansas. As the will forces out longstanding secrets, it sets off a chain of events that has Henry and his cohorts fighting to save the life of the town's resident madman. Although this legal thriller, filled with stereotypical characters (honest lawyer, feisty female crusader, small-town bully, and crooked politician), offers little to surprise readers, it offers much to entertain them.
