Sycamore Row (Jake Brigance)

Description

1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • 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 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. Don’t miss
John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM! Read more
