A Time to Kill
A Time to Kill was published in 1989 by a small independent American publisher. An unknown writer at the time, John Grisham had to buy up copies of the 5,000 copy print run to sell out of the trunk of his own car. After a faltering start, he decided to write one more book before giving up on his dream of writing completely. This book was The Firm and the rest is literary history…
A Time to Kill has gone on to sell 19 million copies worldwide as well as becoming a major Hollywood blockbuster starring Matthew McConaughey, Samuel L. Jackson and Sandra Bullock.
