![]() ![]() The case sees a resurgence of Ku Klux Klan violence in Ford County, Brigance and his family are threatened, and their house is burned down. ![]() Sycamore Row is the sequel to Grisham’s first novel, A Time To Kill, published in 1989 and made into a film in 1996. With Sycamore Row running to 447 pages, I didn’t have time to brush up on the 655-page A Time To Kill as well, and opted to watch the movie instead.Ī Time To Kill is the story of how white lawyer Jake Brigance defends black man Carl Lee Hailey before an all-white jury in Ford County, Mississippi, after Hailey kills the two white men responsible for the rape and attempted murder of his 10-year-old daughter. But asked to review it for radio and aware of Grisham’s phenomenal success - the man has sold 250 million books - I thought I’d see what all the fuss was about. Sycamore Row by John Grisham isn’t a book I would normally pick up. ![]()
