Back Cover

It was only a piece of paper but it could change many lives. Troy Phelan is a self-made billionaire, one of the richest men in the United States. He is also eccentric, reclusive, confined to a wheelchair, and determined to cut his children out of his will. Nate O'Riley is a high-octane Washington litigator who's lived too hard, too fast, for too long. 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 encumberances, and went to live in the deepest jungles of Brazil. Nate's job is to find Rachel and tell her of Phelan's legacy. In a story that mixes legal suspense with a remarkable adventure, their lives will be altered for ever.
