![]() ![]() Grisham’s new vehicle for Jake Brigance is called “A Time for Mercy,” and it is already at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. ![]() In Clanton time, the case is five years removed from “A Time to Kill.” Once again, Jake Brigance is appointed to defend another client whose case no other attorney wants to take. Now, 31 years after the 1989 publication of “A Time to Kill,” comes another scandalous murder in Ford County. Yet like a bad penny, Grisham has kept young, idealistic, and sometimes foolhardy attorney Jake Brigance handing around the Ford County Courthouse in Clanton, Mississippi. Looking back over 31 years of a meteoric writing career that ranks him as one of the most successful writers on the planet, novelist John Grisham’s flawed hero from his very first novel might well be a forgotten figure among the hundreds the author has created. ![]()
