#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - John Grisham returns to the iconic

Today
A Time to Kill is one of the most popular novels of our time. 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.
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy 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 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.
The second will raises far 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?
In Sycamore Row, John Grisham returns to the setting and the
compelling characters that first established him as America's favorite
storyteller. 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.
