The Testament by John Grisham
Troy Phelan, an unhappy billionaire, has been waiting to die for years. His family hates him, he hates his family, and life is boring once you have done everything possible. Troy makes everyone believe that he is ill and crippled by using a wheelchair and wearing a robe and turban for years. Truth is, he isn't sick at all. No one knew that until the day of his death when he was analyzed and pronounced to be of sound body and mind. Seconds after that was declared, he signed a secret will in front of many people, then jumped off a balcony to his death. Troy Phelan signed away his entire fortune to his illegitimate daughter Rachel Lane, a child no one knew about until then. Rachel is a missionary located in the Brazilian jungles. Nate O'Riley is hired to find her, fresh out of rehab. The Testament is a story about the struggle to find Rachel Lane and its effects on each family.
