John Grisham

John Grisham's first novel, A Time to Kill, went completely unnoticed when it was published in 1989 with a print run of 5,000 copies. It was only the phenomenal success of The Company in 1991 that prompted readers to see what Grisham was writing before he

Young lawyer Jake Brigance runs a small law firm in the heart of Mississippi and is barely making ends meet. When a ten-year-old black girl is brutally raped by two petty criminals and idlers, her father will take justice into his own hands. Jake Brigance will like the role of the defense attorney in the trial, which will attract unprecedented media attention due to the incendiary racial component. This book takes a completely different course than Grisham's usual action thrillers, this is an introspective, somewhat autobiographical courtroom drama, which Grisham says is his best novel. Comparisons with the O. J. Simpson trial five years later show how prophetically true Grisham's fable was and how much hidden tension is packed into the divide between black and white America.
