Javorov drvored

John Grisham

Seth Hubbard is a self-absorbed southern rich man who is dying of cancer and trusts no one. Before committing suicide by hanging himself from a maple tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten will.

In doing so, he involves his grown children, a black housekeeper and lawyer Jake Brigance in a conflict as tense and dramatic as the trial for the murder of a little girl, which three years ago caused friction between black and white residents of the agricultural Ford County, in the American state of Mississippi, and lawyer Brigance and his family almost cost their lives. Hubbard's new will raises a number of seemingly intractable questions. Why would a rich southern man leave almost all of his wealth to an African-American housekeeper? Did chemotherapy and painkillers affect his ability to reason? And what does all this have to do with the land called Javorov Drvored? As he sets about solving these questions, Brigance's attorney gradually realizes that this will bring to light the darkest secret of the still racially divided Ford County...
