The hero of <i>A Time to Kill, </i>one of the most popular novels of our time, returns in a courtroom drama that <i>The New York Times</i> says is riveting and suspenseful.</b><br> <i> </i> <br> Clanton, Mississippi. 1990. Jake Brigance finds himself embroiled in a deeply divisive trial when the court appoints him attorney for Drew Gamble, a timid sixteen-year-old boy accused of murdering a local deputy.
