But one night, TJ’s world turns upside down after his older brother John confesses that he just murdered one of the clients, an accountant he’d confronted with proof of embezzlement. It seems impossible coming from John, the firstborn son and Most Valuable Devlin. TJ plunges into the investigation, seizing the chance to prove his worth and save his brother.

But in no time, TJ and John find themselves entangled in a lethal web of deception and murder. TJ will fight to save his family, but what he learns might break them first.

Lisa Scottoline, autrice bestseller di What Happened to the Bennetts, presenta un altro avvincente thriller familiare su famiglia, giustizia e le bugie che ci distruggono. TJ Devlin è l’affascinante delusione dell’importante famiglia Devlin, composta da tutti avvocati del loro studio legale di successo, tranne lui. Dopo un periodo in prigione e un periodo di riabilitazione per alcolismo, TJ non riesce a trovare lavoro se non nello studio, in un lavoro di facciata con il titolo di investigatore.

Ma una notte, il mondo di TJ si capovolge quando suo fratello maggiore John confessa di aver appena ucciso uno dei clienti, un commercialista che aveva interrogato con prove di appropriazione indebita. Sembra impossibile, visto che proviene da John, il primogenito e il più prezioso Devlin. TJ si lancia nelle indagini, cogliendo l’occasione per dimostrare il suo valore e salvare il fratello.

Ma in men che non si dica, TJ e John si ritrovano invischiati in una rete letale di inganni e omicidi. TJ combatterà per salvare la sua famiglia, ma ciò che scoprirà potrebbe distruggerla per prima.

Simon Latch is a small-town lawyer struggling with debt, gambling issues and an impending divorce. But when Eleanor Barnett, an 85-year-old widow, visits his office to secure a new will, it seems his luck has finally changed: she claims she’s sitting on a $20 million fortune and no one else knows about it. She could be the ticket to his fortune.

Once he’s hooked the richest client of his career, Simon works quietly to keep her wealth under the radar, even from his own assistant. But there are complications: other lawyers are circling his client like vultures. But when she is hospitalised after a car accident, Eleanor’s story begins to crack.

Simon realises that nothing is as it seems. And as events spiral out of control, he finds himself on trial for a crime he swears he didn’t commit: murder.

The Widow is classic Grisham courtroom drama combined with a confounding murder mystery that will enthral his legion of fans.

Lei ha bisogno di un avvocato. Lui ha bisogno di un giorno di paga.

Potrebbe essere la chiave per la sua fortuna.

Una volta conquistata la cliente più ricca della sua carriera, Simon lavora in silenzio per tenere la sua ricchezza lontana dai radar, persino dal suo assistente.

Simon si rende conto che niente è come sembra. E mentre gli eventi sfuggono di mano, si ritrova sotto processo per un crimine che giura di non aver commesso: omicidio. The Widow è il classico dramma giudiziario di Grisham, combinato con un inquietante giallo che conquisterà la sua schiera di fan.

But Martin can’t help but notice certain flies in the ointment… Ben’s wife, Serena, for instance, whose privileged existence is beginning to feel like a gilded cage. Or their daughter, Cosima, an environmental activist fighting against everything her parents once stood for.

Or the disgraced MP Richard Take, determined to make his big comeback. And then there’s Fliss, the Fitzmaurice black sheep, whose untimely death sparks more suspicion than closure. Through their intertwined stories, we see a family – and a nation – unravelling under the weight of its secrets.With everyone watching, the stage is set for a reckoning.

It’s time for Martin and Ben to confront what love truly means when everything-family, power, and loyalty-is on the line.

The evidence points to one culprit: celebrity chef Sebastian Brooks. But junior barrister Adam Green is about to discover that the case is not as open-and-shut as it first seemed. And although her angelic persona would suggest otherwise, she was not short of enemies in the glittery TV world… Can Adam uncover the truth?

Now abandoned, it is the target of greedy developers. Lovely Jackson is the last survivor and claims to be its legal owner. But there is not a shred of evidence to prove that is true.

It’s unlikely that the developers will be deterred by the claims of one old woman. They have millions; Lovely only has Steve Mahon, a pro bono environmental lawyer, and Mercer Mann, a floundering novelist, to fight in her corner. With the court case looming and the bulldozers waiting to roll in, Steve and Mercer are in a race against time to unearth the truth behind Lovely’s story and save the legacy of the island.
