Grisham | John Books

A Time to Kill was published in 1988. It was not an overnight success. The initial print run was small, and the book foundered in bookstores. However, the seed was planted. Grisham quit his law practice to write his second novel, a story about a young lawyer lured into a firm that wasn't what it seemed. That book, The Firm , would change everything.
