The widow [sound recording] : a novel / John Grisham.

Grisham, John, (author.). Beck, Michael, 1949- (narrator.).

Summary:

"Simon Latch is a lawyer in rural Virginia, making just enough to pay his bills while his marriage slowly falls apart. Then into his office walks Eleanor Barnett, an elderly widow in need of a new will. Apparently, her husband left her a small fortune, and no one knows about it. Once he hooks the richest client of his career, Simon works quietly to keep her wealth under the radar. When she is hospitalized after a car accident, Simon realizes that nothing is as it seems, and he finds himself on trial for a crime he swears he didn't commit: murder. To save himself, he must find the real killer." -- Provided by publisher.
