'Sycamore Row' is a suspensful novel written by John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.
Jake Brigance has never met Seth Hubbard, or even heard of him, until the old man's suicide note naes him attorney for his estate. The will is dynamite. Seth has left ninety percent of his vast, secret fortune to his housemaid. The vultures are circling even before the body is cold: the only thing more incendiary than money in Ford County is race, and this case has both. As the relatives contest thewill, Jake searches for answers to the many questions left by Seth Hubbard's death ...
Cast in the same mold as his other legal thrillers, and somewhat predictable, but once again Grisham has published a book that I couldn't put down until I finished it. He tells such great tales, creates such believable characters, and wraps you up in his yarns. Kudos!
