A Time To Kill
(John Grisham)
Is there ever a reason to commit murder? In John Grisham?s A Time to Kill, Carl Lee thought so. Set in Rural Mississippi, the story of a furious father who seeks his own justice by mistakenly injuring a courtroom police officer while murdering the two drunken rednecks who brutally raped and assaulted his 10 year old daughter leaving her for dead, is a real page turner. The realistically portrayed novel reveals the human nature at its worst. When Carl Lee gets young white lawyer, Jake Brigance, to represent him, the already flaming torch of hostility ignites and blazes causing all kind of problems. The deceased rapist?s brothers start up a KKK chapter, which adds to the chaos. From the burning down of the lawyer?s house to the NAACP trying to step in and take the case away from him, this book is full of twists and turns. What enhances the sizzling plot is that a young, attractive naive female aspiring lawyer working with Brigance becomes caught in the figurative crossfire. She is right on time saving his case more than once. Ultimately it is Jake himself, who must try to convince the mostly white jury that Carl Lee is innocent, while taking care of his family?s needs as well. Amongst the cross-burning and crooked cops, Jake must protect his family and himself, while trying to win the biggest murder case Mississippi has ever seen, but it goes beyond that. It is not just wining a case; it is fighting for true justice to prevail where least expected. If you?re ready for a thrilling and thought provoking read with a surprise reading, this is the book for you. The realistic portrayal is shocking.
