Grisham se las ingenia para encontrar los puntos dificiles del derecho y elaborar historias sobre estos. En este caso es un testamento y la lucha de poder que se genera por los potenciales herederos, los representantes legales de estos, y el sistema de justicia. Sin embargo,en ocasiones la fortuna esta destinada a quien menos la desea. Una telarana que teje el derecho sobre ricos inescrupulosos, la riqueza en los EUA, la pobreza en Brasil, y una misionera quien no quiere ser rica.    hide
