In this used English edition of The Summons, a former titan of local law and politics, Judge Atlee, once a towering figure for forty years, now resides as a frail, solitary elder in his grand ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi. With his life drawing to a close, Judge Atlee summons his two sons to return to Clanton to address his estate. The elder son, Ray Atlee, is a Virginia law professor recently navigating the aftermath of a divorce. His younger brother, Forrest, is known as the family’s black sheep. The summons, personally typed by the Judge on his distinguished stationery, dictates the date and time for Ray and Forrest to convene in his study. Ray, though reluctant to return to his hometown, a place he now actively avoids, travels south. However, the planned family meeting is cut short by the Judge’s untimely death. His passing reveals a startling secret, known only to Ray, and potentially to another individual.
