A Time to Kill

Author: John Grisham

In this gripping legal thriller, a young Mississippi lawyer finds himself at the center of a racially charged murder trial that will test his convictions and shake a small Southern town to its core. When a young Black girl is brutally assaulted, her father takes justice into his own hands, sparking a firestorm of controversy. As tensions rise and lines blur, our protagonist must navigate treacherous waters, confronting his own beliefs and the harsh realities of a deeply divided community. Grisham’s masterful storytelling weaves a tale of moral ambiguity, redemption, and the pursuit of justice in a world where right and wrong are rarely black and white.

Until we can see each other as equals, justice is never going to be even-handed.
