#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 InquirerThe life of a ten-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless white men. The mostly white town of … 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.

I will never not recommend this book!
I love A TIME TO KILL. This book pulls so many emotions from me every time I read it (which is at least once a year). I feel like most people have seen the movie, but trust me, you need to read the book.
Amazing story by a master story-teller.
His best book so far.
I enjoy all the books in this seried
I read this many years ago and was hooked on Grisham thereafter.
Early John Grisham that helped establish him as a master of legal drama.
Best ever.
One of my favorites and one of his best.
An early Grisham…great book!
My favorite Grisham book.
I enjoy all of John G.’s books. They are hard not to like. Recommend them all.
My favourite author!
It is a good formula book, in the best traditions of John Grisham’s legal thrillers.
Amazing legal thriller, Grisham at his best.
It was way to sad , I have read all of Grisham’s books I have liked all of them but this one.
This is the best of John Gresham! Very moving story. I highly recommend this book. I’ve re-read it.
This book kept me turning page after page…I HAD to know what happened next. John Grisham is the master of court room drama and action!
One of John Grisholm’s best.
I loved this book but read it so long ago I can’t remember much of it.
as always with this author,never a let down to buy his books and enjoy a good read
This is one of Grisham’s best books. Grisham had me hooked before I read this book but this book told an important story of how racially charged the time period really was.
