編輯推薦

Heart of darkness...
In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. With his death just hours away, Troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.
Because Troy Phelan's new will names a sole surprise heir to his eleven-billion-dollar fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary living deep in the jungles of Brazil.
Enter the lawyers. Nate O'Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his last job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. As Phelan's family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman--pursued by enemies and friends alike--holds a stunning surprise of her own....

內容簡介

Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the U.S. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and looking for a way to die. His heirs, to no one's surprise -- especially Troy's -- are circling like vultures.

Nate O' Reilly is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long. His second marriage is in a shambles, he is emerging from his fourth stay in rehab armed with little more than his fragile sobriety, good intentions, and resilient sense of humor. Returning to the real world is always difficult, but this time it's going to be murder.

Rachel Lane is a young woman who chose to give her life to God, who walked away from the modern world with all its strivings and trappings and encumbrances, and went to live and work with a primitive tribe of Indians in the deepest jungles of Brazil. In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure, their lives are forever altered by the startling secret of The Testament.

精彩書評

Troy Phelan, a 78-year-old eccentric and the 10th-richest man in America, is about to read his last will and testament, divvying up an estate worth $11 billion. Phelan's three ex-wives, their grasping spawn, a legion of lawyers, several psychiatrists, and a plethora of sound technicians wait breathlessly, all eyes glued to digital monitors as they watch the old man read his verdict. But Phelan shocks everyone with a bizarre, last-gasp attempt to redistribute the spoils, setting in motion a legal morality tale of a contested will, sin, and redemption.
Our hero, Nate O'Riley--a washed-up, alcoholic litigator with two ruined marriages in his wake and the IRS on his tail--is dispatched to the Brazilian wetlands in search of a mysterious heir named in the will. After a harrowing trip upriver to a remote settlement in the Pantanal, he encounters Rachel Lane, a pure-hearted missionary living with an indigenous tribe and carrying out "God's work." Rachel's grave dedication and kindness impress the jaded lawyer, so much that a nasty bout of dengue fever leads him to a vision that could change his life.
Back in the States, the legal proceedings drag on and Grisham has a high time with Phelan's money-hungry descendents, a regrettable bunch who squandered millions, married strippers, got druggy, and befriended the Mob. The youngest son, Ramble, is a multi-pierced, tattoo-covered malcontent with big dreams for his rock band, the Demon Monkeys. Will Nate get straight with Rachel's aid? Do the greedy heirs get theirs? What's the real legacy of a lifetime's work? The Testament is classic Grisham: a down-and-out lawyer, a lot of money, an action-packed pursuit, and the highest issues at stake. It's not just about great characters; it's about the question of what character is.
--Rebekah Warren

送貨上門,服務好工作之餘,人們或楚河漢界運籌帷幄,或輕歌曼舞享受生活,而我則喜歡翻翻書、讀讀報,一個人沉浸在筆墨飄香的世界裏,跟智者神遊,與慧者交流,不知有漢,無論魏晉,醉在其中。我是一介窮書生,盡管在學校工作瞭二十五年,但是工資卻不好意思示人。當我教訓調皮搗蛋的女兒外孫子們時,時常被他們反問:“你老深更半夜瞭,還在寫作看書,可工資卻不到兩韆!”常常被他們噎得無話可說。當教師的我這一生注定與清貧相伴,惟一好處是有雙休息日,在屬於我的假期裏悠哉遊哉於書香之中,這也許是許多書外之人難以領略的愜意。好瞭,廢話不多說。書不錯 還送光碟 就是快遞不給力 太慢瞭 但還行 好期待的書 可來瞭在我還沒有看這本書的時候,我絲毫不懷疑它是一本好書,很符閤80後讀者的口味。很難想象一本圖書會被我看得像郭德綱的相聲書一樣,在地鐵上都如飢似渴地手不釋捲。人都說《紅樓夢》是一部罕見的奇書,是人生的鏡子,那麼對於這部書,在某種意義上也令我感到瞭絲絲“找齣心中所想”的意味,因為我不僅從中看齣大論的味道,更是以一種看搞笑圖書的心情在愉悅自己,事實上這本書確實不失幽默,在大論瞭一把之後確實愉悅瞭廣大讀者,在此之前,我從來沒想過會像一本幽默小說一樣去看這本書,因為多年來這類書的泛濫使我對其十分不屑。京東商城圖書頻道提供豐富的圖書産品,種類包括小說、文學、傳記、藝術、少兒、經濟、管理、生活等圖書的網上銷售,為您提供最佳的購書體驗。網購上京東,省錢又放心!在網上購物,動輒就要十多元的運費,往往是令許多網購消費者和商傢躊躇於網購及銷售的成本。就在買方賣方都在考慮成本的同時,京東做瞭一個錶率性的舉動。隻要達到某個會員級彆,不分品類實行全場免運費。這是一個太摔的舉動瞭,支持京東。好瞭,現在給大傢介紹兩本好書:被美國學界譽為“思想巨匠”和“最具前瞻性的管理思想傢”的史蒂芬·柯維博士,他的集大成之作《高效能人士的七個習慣》已成為中國企事業單位和政府機關必備的最經典、最著名的一部培訓教材;在美國乃至全世界,史蒂芬·柯維的思想和成就,與拿破侖·希爾、戴爾·卡耐基比肩。《高效能人士的7個習慣(20周年紀念版)》在每一章最後增加瞭一個“付諸行動”版塊,精選柯維培訓課程中的實踐訓練習題,以幫助讀者加深對“七個習慣”的理解和掌握,使“七個習慣”成為屬於每個人自己的行動指南,價值堪比18000元的柯維現場培訓課。史蒂芬·柯維被美國《時代周刊》評為“20世紀影響美國曆史進程的25位人物”之一,他是前總統剋林頓倚重的顧問,《財富》雜誌100強中的90%和500強中的75%的企業是他的直接受教者,AT&T、通用電子、全祿、可口可樂等大公司的高級主管都是他的學生,李開復等中國頂尖的企業傢和管理者也深受其思想的啓發。每年,來自全球的個人、傢庭、企業、教育界及政府領導者的受教生更是高達百萬人之多。東東槍和地下天鵝絨是兩位在博客、微博、專欄裏都非常受讀者喜愛的作傢,兩人思維跳躍,觀點奇特新穎,對待感情,他們也細細琢磨,也插科打諢。同在滾滾紅塵中摸爬滾打,兩位勇士將他們對兩性情感的所感所悟一一精彩呈現,得此《鴛鴦譜》,閃著智慧幽默的光。鴛鴦譜,靠譜。
