Synopsis#1 "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLER 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 goes 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., THE CORE OF DARKNESS: TROY FELON WAS BUSY WRITING HIS WILL; HE IS RENOWNED, RICH BEYOND IMAGINATION, OLD AND VERY SHORT TEMPERED. HE IS SITTING IN HIS VIRGINIA BASED SPACIOUS, MODERN OFFICE. HIS DEATH IS LINGERING NEARBY; HE HAS ONLY A FEW HOURS IN HIS HANDS NOW. HE WANTS TO LEAVE MESSAGES FOR ALL, HIS CHILDREN, HIS DIVORCED WIFE, AND HIS COLLEAGUES; A MESSAGE WHICH WAS GOING TO CREATE HAVOC, WHICH WAS GOING TO BE A VERY COMPLICATED CASE IN THE COURTS. HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE EVERY SINGLE PENNY OF HIS HARD EARNED 11 BILLION DOLLARS ESTATE TO ONE RACHEL LANE, HIS HEIR HEREAFTER BUT UNKNOWN TO ALL. WHO WAS WORKING IN THE REMOTEST AREAS OF THE BRAZIL FORESTS, FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE ANCIENT TRIBES OVER THERE, FOR THE MISSIONARY WORK; NET OREILLE WAS JUST OUT OF THE REHABILITATION CENTER. HE HAD EARNED HIS NAME AND FAME WITH HIS CASES AGAINST THE IGNORANCE OF THE DOCTORS. BUT HIS ADDICTION WAS ADDING NEGATIVE POINTS TO HIS NAME, MAKING HIM FAMOUS OTHERWISE. HE WAS ASSIGNED THE DUTY OF FINDING RACHEL. ALL THE SO CALLED HEIRS OF TROY FELON WERE EAGER TO GET THEIR SHARE IN HIS ESTATE, LIKE VULTURES SEEKING THEIR PREY. NET REACHES THE INTERIORS OF THE BRAZIL, IN SEARCH OF RACHEL, A PLACE WHERE THERE WAS NO VALUE FOR MONEY, A FOREST SO DENSE WHERE A SINGLE WRONG STEP WOULD LEAD TO DEATH. RACHEL WAS A DOCTOR AND A MISSIONARY. SHE HAD SUFFERED A LOT, THROUGH FRIENDS AND THROUGH ENEMIES. SHE HAD A SURPRISE FOR ALL OF THEM... , , , , , , . . , , . . - . e
