#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 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.
"Welcome back, Jake. . . . [Brigance] is one of the most fully
developed and engaging characters in all of Grisham's novels."--USA
Today
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy white man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no
one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new,
handwritten will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black
maid, and defense attorney Jake Brigance 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.
The second will raises many more questions than it answers. 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?
