The Widow by John Grisham

All lawyer Simon Latch can see is dollar signs when eighty-five-year-old Eleanor Barnett comes to his office asking if he'll draft a new will for her. Eleanor is a widow with no children and says she has no debts and stocks worth $16 million. With a family to support and a penchant for small time sports betting, Simon is always in debt. Being Eleanor's lawyer could really help his financial situation, but he knows he needs to keep Eleanor's wealth secret so he doesn't lose out on making some real money. But is Eleanor really rich? And what about her two stepsons, Clyde and Jerry, who want their share of the fortune? Will meeting Eleanor turn out to be the best thing ever to happen to Simon or his worst nightmare?
