A Time to Kill (Grisham novel)
''A Time to Kill'' is a 1989 legal suspense thriller by John Grisham. It was Grisham's first novel. The novel was rejected by many publishers before Wynwood Press (located in New York) 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. This made Grisham extremely popular among readers.
In 1996, the novel was adapted into a film of the same name, starring Matthew McConaughey and Samuel L. Jackson. In 2011, it was further adapted into a stage play of the same name by Rupert Holmes. The stage production opened at the Arena Stage (Washington, D.C.) in May 2011 and opened on Broadway in October 2013.
==Setting==
The story takes place in the fictional town of Clanton, Mississippi, in the 1980's . This setting is also featured in other John Grisham novels. Three of the characters, Jake Brigance, Harry Rex Vonner and Lucien Wilbanks, later appear in the 2013 sequel ''Sycamore Row''. Harry Rex Vonner and Lucien Wilbanks also appear in Grisham's 2003 novel ''The Last Juror'', which is set in Clanton in the 1970s. Harry Rex Vonner also appears in the 2002 Grisham novel, ''The Summons'', and in the short story "Fish Files", in the 2009 collection ''Ford County''.
