Description

A Time to Kill is a 1989 legal thriller and debut novel by American author John Grisham. The novel was rejected by many publishers before Wynwood Press eventually gave it a 5,000-copy printing. When Doubleday published The Firm, Wynwood released a trade paperback of A Time to Kill, which became a bestseller. Dell published the mass market paperback months after the success of The Firm, bringing Grisham to widespread popularity among readers. Doubleday eventually took over the contract for A Time to Kill and released a special hardcover edition. ---------- Also contained in: [The Pelican Brief / A Time to Kill](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL24697402W) [The Testament / A Time To Kill](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL20639558W)
