John Grisham takes you back to where it all began . .
.
John Grisham's 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.

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.
