#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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. Nate O'Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long.  His second marriage in a shambles, and 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. Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

“An irresistible premise that Grisham, as usual, brings to life with engagingly crooked characters and juicy legal twists.” People
“John Grisham’s best novel in years.” USA Today
“Absorbing…The pages fly by.” Chicago Tribune
“A compulsory page-turner…Grisham can spin an adventure yarn every bit as well as he can craft a legal thriller.” Newsweek
“Full of drama and fast-paced adventure. You can’t put it down.” People
“Grisham offers his readers a special gift—a compelling journey into a world of primitive wisdom, indescribable beauty, and the most treacherous of dangers—some of which can be found deep within ourselves.” Barnes & Noble, editorial review
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.” Amazon.com, editorial review
“Sincere, exciting, and tinged with wonder.” Publishers Weekly
The Testament is a quick read, a wild ride, and surprisingly affecting. Its unexpected conclusion leaves the reader reflective.” Books & Culture

A compulsory page-turner. Newsweek
Entertaining. The New York Times Book Review
Absorbing . . . The pages fly by. Chicago Tribune
His hordes of fans won’t be disappointed: Grisham includes his trademark legal wrangling, zippy plot and engaging minor characters. The Testament is unabashedly spiritual without being doctrinaire. USA Today
Seductive . . . Grisham knows how to tell a story. The Denver Post
Complex and satisfying. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The first two chapters . . . are good, dirty fun. Grisham shows a new lightness of touch here: the parts of The Testament that deal with the legal profession fairly snap along. Los Angeles Times
Holds the reader to the end . . . The Testament straddles two worlds: the familiar haunts of courtrooms, legal conferences, and judges chambers and the exotic wilds of Brazil. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Grisham fans . . . will love The Testament. He’s a master of character and motivation. The Plain Dealer
Grisham writes with insider knowledge, an expert appreciation of the elegant legal gambit, and real relish at the unexpected things that can come out when smart, principled lawyers who’ve done their homework ask dishonest witnesses the right questions. The Boston Globe
