A Time To Kill

Thirty years since the release of the iconic film adaptation starring Matthew McConaughey and Samuel L. Jackson, revisit Clanton and the story that introduced the world to Jake Brigance.

When Carl Lee Hailey guns down the hoodlums who have raped his ten-year-old daughter, the people of Clanton see it as a crime of blood and call for his acquittal.

But when extremists outside Clanton hear that a black man has killed two white men, they invade the town, determined to destroy anything and anyone that opposes their sense of justice.

Jake Brigance has been hired to defend Hailey. It's the kind of case that can make or break a young lawyer. But in the maelstrom of Clanton, it is also the kind of case that could get a young lawyer killed...

The multi-million copy bestselling thriller that introduced Jake Brigance and inspired a sequel, Sycamore Row.
