Sinopsis	John Grisham's A Time to Kill is one of the most popular novels of our time. Now we return to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial-a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County to confront its tortured history. Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row? In Sycamore Row, John Grisham returns to the setting and the compelling characters that first established him as America's favorite storyteller. Here, in his most assured and thrilling novel yet, is a powerful testament to the fact that Grisham remains the master of the legal thriller, nearly twenty-five years after the publication of A Time to Kill. GRISHAM JOHN John Grisham es autor de cuarenta y ocho libros que se han convertido en números 1 en las listas de best sellers de Estados Unidos de manera consecutiva y que han sido traducidos a casi cincuenta idiomas. Sus obras más recientes incluyen Los chicos de Biloxi, El intercambio e Isla maldita. Grisham ha ganado dos veces el Premio Harper Lee de ficción legal y ha sido galardonado con el Premio al Logro Creativo de Ficción de la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos. Cuando no está escribiendo, Grisham trabaja en la junta directiva de Innocence Project y Centurion Ministries, dos organizaciones dedicadas a lograr la exoneración de personas condenadas injustamente. Muchas de sus novelas exploran problemas profundamente arraigados en el sistema de justicia estadounidense. John vive en una granja en Virginia.
