A pillar of the community who towered over local law and politics
for forty years, Judge Atlee is now a shadow of his former self—a sick,
lonely old man who has withdrawn to his sprawling ancestral home in
Clanton, Mississippi.
Knowing that the end is near, Judge Atlee
has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clanton to discuss
his estate. Ray Atlee is the elder, a Virginia law professor, newly
single, still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. Forrest is
Ray’s younger brother, the family’s black sheep.
The summons is
typed by the Judge himself, on his handsome old stationery, and gives
the date and time for Ray and Forrest to appear in his study. Ray
reluctantly heads south to his hometown, to the place he now prefers to
avoid. But the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too
soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray .
. . and perhaps to someone else.
