A Time To Kill by John Grisham tells the story of two men who brutalize a ten-year-old black girl in the deep south in the USA. When the father learns of this, he decides to deal out his own brand of justice and shoots the two men in cold blood before they go to trial. When his trial takes place, he and his white lawyer are in a battle for both of their lives.
I know this book has been out for years but somehow I missed it. I'm glad I read it now though--it's very good! The trial and all that surrounded it was outstanding. As usual for John Grisham, the writing is top-notch. If you haven't read this one yet, you should because it is well worth it.

It's been awhile since I read this one, but this makes me want to read it again. I do remember it being an excellent read. Good enough that I can remember the setting in which I read most of it.
