John Grisham - A Time to Kill

A Time to Kill is a 1989 legal suspense thriller by John Grisham. Grisham's first novel, it was rejected by many publishers before Wynwood Press eventually gave it a modest 5,000-copy printing. After The Firm, The Pelican Brief, and The Client became bestsellers, interest in A Time to Kill grew; the book was republished by Doubleday in hardcover and, later, by Dell Publishing in paperback, and itself became a bestseller. In 1996 the novel was adapted into a film of the same name, starring Matthew McConaughey and Samuel L. Jackson. It is the only one of Grisham's legal novels to date, which does not have the word 'The' at the start of the title.
