Product Description
Ray Atlee is a professor of law at the University Of Virginia. He's forty-three, newly single,
and still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. He has a younger brother, Forrest,
who redefines the notion of a family's black sheep.
And he has a father, a very sick old man who lives alone in the ancestral home in Clanton,
Mississippi. He is known to all as Judge Atlee, beloved and powerful official who has
towered over local law and politics for forty years. No longer on the bench, the Judge has
withdrawn to the Atlee mansion and become a recluse.
With the end in sight, Judge Atlee issues a summons for both sons to return home to
Clanton, to discuss the details of his estate' It is typed by the Judge himself, on his
handsome old stationery, and gives the date and time for Ray and Forrest to appear
in his study.
Ray reluctantly heads south, to his hometown, to the place where he grew up which he
prefers now to avoid. But the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon,
and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray.
And perhaps someone else.
