![]() ![]() Jake is suing on behalf of the infant daughter who wasn’t in the car that night his witnesses say the crossing signals weren’t working. ![]() His highest hopes for a solid payday rest on a lawsuit he’s pursuing involving a collision between a car and a train that left a family of four dead. This book is set in 1990, just five years after the events of A Time to Kill, and Jake is still hustling for cases in Clanton. Grisham wrote Sycamore Row, a sequel to A Time to Kill, in 2013, and he’s brought Jake back for a third act in A Time for Mercy. Its lawyer hero, Jake Brigance, took on a seemingly unwinnable case boiling with issues of race that split the fictional small town of Clanton, Miss., and nearly cost him his life. His first novel, A Time to Kill, published in 1988 and made into a hit movie in 1996, grew directly out of his practice of law in a small town in Mississippi. ![]()
