Book Overview: A Time to Kill: A Jake Brigance Novel

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER – The master of the legal thriller probes the savage depths of racial violence in this searing courtroom drama featuring the beloved Jake Brigance.

“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.

About the Author

John Grisham

John Grisham is one of the most illustrious and accomplished authors in the realm of legal thrillers. Born on February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Grisham’s journey from a small-town lawyer to a globally renowned author encompasses sheer hard work and an unwavering passion for weaving riveting courtroom dramas. He pursued a degree in Criminal Law from Mississippi State University and later practiced law for nearly a decade, experience that serves as the backbone to his gripping narratives.

Grisham’s writing career took off in 1989 with the publication of his first book, “A Time to Kill,” which was initially met with a lukewarm response. It wasn’t until the overwhelming success of his second book, “The Firm,” that Grisham started to garner international acclaim. His knack for deftly blending real-life legal intricacies with edge-of-the-seat suspense quickly catapulted him into the ranks of the best-selling authors.

Today, John Grisham’s repertoire includes more than 30 novels, a short story collection, and a series for young readers, all translated into 42 languages worldwide. Many of his works, such as “The Firm,” “The Pelican Brief,” and “A Time to Kill,” have been adapted into successful films. Beyond his writing career, Grisham is also known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in promoting and supporting creative writing scholarships and programs. His monumental success in the literary world continues to be an inspiration for aspiring authors, making him a true icon of our times.
