Críticas

"Library Journal" Both a suspenseful mystery and a deeply felt examination of truth and faith.

"Booklist" On par with the early works of Grisham, this thriller is enlivened with sparkling dialogue and deft descriptions of place.

William Bernhardt Author of "Double Jeopardy, Dark Justice, " and "Cruel Justice" Fast-paced and full of moral complexities, this is a legal thriller no reader of courtroom drama will want to miss. Reed Arvin does a masterful job of examining the lawyer's struggles to retain his values while working in a system at odds with his own integrity.

"Arkansas Democrat-Gazette" In Reed Arvin's second novel, we are taken on a fast-paced, high-stakes ride...."The Will" is a thriller that moves swiftly and keeps the reader turning pages so quickly that we may not notice we are actually doing some pretty good thinking about what values we place first in our own lives and whether the present we believe is firm and solid is actually safe against the unfinished business of our lives and the past of our fathers.

"Reed Arvin is the real deal."

-- Harlan Coben

"Denver Post" Arvin brings a freshness to the story that is compelling...[his] characters are not cookie-cutter; they are fully fleshed out and believable...."The Will" could be the beginning of an impressive career.

"Both a suspenseful mystery and a deeply feltexamination of truth and faith."

-- "Library Journal"

"Suspenseful from start to finish."

-- "Publishers Weekly"

Reseña del editor

Henry Mathews is a young, ambitious associate at a top Chicago law firm. Called back to his tiny hometown of Council Grove, Kansas, to execute the will of Tyler Crandall, the town's richest man, Henry becomes enmeshed in a web of long-hidden secrets. For the beneficiary of Crandall's wealth -- a homeless derelict called the Birdman -- hides the key to the town's real history behind his apparent madness. Soon, what began as a legal battle becomes a spiritual journey stretching back to Henry's mysterious experience at a seminary years before. As he is sucked into a maelstrom of money and politics -- and a tragic love affair -- Henry discovers that right and wrong are more complex than he imagined, and that black and white are melding into a troublesome shade of gray.
