is one of the most fully developed and engaging characters in all of Grisham’s novels.”- USA TodayĪ Time to Kill is one of the most popular novels of our time. John Grisham returns to the iconic setting of his first novel, A Time to Kill, as Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a controversial trial that exposes a tortured history of racial tension.Here, in his most assured and thrilling novel yet, is a powerful testament to the fact that Grisham remains the master of the legal thriller, nearly twenty-five years after the publication of A Time to Kill.
In Sycamore Row, John Grisham returns to the setting and the compelling characters that first established him as America's favorite storyteller. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row? The second will raises far more questions than it answers. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer.
Now we return to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial-a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County to confront its tortured history.
