A Time to Kill: A Jake Brigance Novel
"John Grisham may well be the best American storyteller writing today."--The Philadelphia Inquirer
The life of a ten-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless white men. The mostly white town of Clanton in Ford County, Mississippi, reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime--until the girl's father acquires an assault rifle and takes justice into his own hands.
For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client's life--and then his own.
Look for all of John Grisham's gripping Jake Brigance novels:

@MuseZack No one films John Grisham books anymore. I don’t know whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, since my two favorite books of his were “A Time to Kill” and “The Client.”

@AlJamesBooks You could remind them that Charles Dickens was self-published, as was Beatrix Potter, TS Eliot, and A Time to Kill by John Grisham was originally self-published. And many more...
Indie author who believes novelettes must have a fair chance at standalone publication. Author of 'When We Almost Met' (2022). Up next: WWAM 2023 edition!
@HMeloWriter A Time to Kill, John Grisham. Literally the only book I couldn't put down at the time

"Grisham's books are smart, imaginative, and funny, populated by complex, interesting people."--The Washington Post
"The law, by its nature, creates drama, and a new Grisham promises us an inside look at the dirty machineries of process and power, with plenty of entertainment."--Los Angeles Times
