Book Description:
The life of a ten-year-old girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young men. The mostly white town of Clanton in Ford County, Mississippi, reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime. Until her black father acquires an assault rifle and takes justice into his own outraged hands.

For ten days, as burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spread through the streets of Clanton, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jake Brigance struggles to save his client’s life–and then his own.

"A Time to Kill" is one of Grishams' best stories. It is his the first book he wrote and has been re-released. It is a story of a gruesome crime and the racial emotions os the not so distant past. It does keep your attention from beginning to end. Every parent will relate to "A Time to Kill".

Good book, but somewhat predictable. It kept my interest to read on.
