#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 TodaySeth Hubbard is a wealthy white 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 defense attorney Jake Brigance 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 many 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?Look for all of John Grisham’s gripping Jake Brigance novels:A Time to KillSycamore RowA Time for Mercy

"Loved this book ! "

"I really only enjoyed this book because I already knew the characters from "A Time To Kill". Otherwise it was a completely average - if not a little dull - legal novel. Contesting a will in court is not exactly what legal thrillers are made of, so naturally it was a little slow. That being said, it was extremely well written for what it was, managed to be compelling, and I enjoyed being back in Jake Brigance's world."
