Welcome back, Jake! Yes, Jake Brigance is back and involved in another controversial trial. Seth Hubbard is a sick old man. Dying of cancer, he meticulously plans his funeral and burial. Then he locks himself in his office, produces a legal, handwritten will leaving 5% to his church, 5% to his long lost brother and 90% to his black maid, cutting out his children. He also writes a letter to Jake, directing him to enforce his will at all costs. The next day, Sunday, he goes to church, chats with the preacher, then hangs himself. Let the fireworks begin! Why, OH! Why? Why would Seth leave so much to Lettie Lang? Seth has his reasons but you will have to read the book to find out what they are. In the mean time, enjoy reading about the inner workings of the legal system in rural Mississippi!
A great legal thriller!
