The Widow by John Grisham

Simon Latch is a small-town Virginia lawyer whose practice is struggling and whose personal life is unraveling. Then an elderly widow walks into his office needing help with a new will—and reveals that she may be worth far more than anyone realizes.
 
What initially looks like an opportunity soon becomes something much more dangerous. When circumstances take a deadly turn, Simon finds himself caught in a case where money, suspicion, and the law collide, and where his own decisions may have put everything at risk.
 
With courtroom tension, moral complications, and the legal maneuvering that has made John Grisham a bestselling favorite, The Widow delivers a suspenseful story about temptation, consequences, and a lawyer facing a fight he never expected.
