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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n 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?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n In\u003cbr\u003e\nSycamore 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\u003cbr\u003e\nA Time to Kill.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for the novels of John Grisham  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \"John Grisham is about as good a storyteller as we've got in the United States these days.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n —The New York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \"John Grisham is exceptionally good at what he does—indeed, right now in this country, nobody does it better.\" —Jonathan Yardley,\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Washington Post\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \"Grisham is a marvelous storyteller who works readers the way a good trial lawyer works a jury.\" —\u003cbr\u003e\nPhiladelphia Inquirer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \"John Grisham owns the legal thriller.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n —The Denver Post\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \"John Grisham is not just popular, he is one of the most popular novelists of our time.

He was at the end of a rope, six feet off the ground and twisting slightly in the wind. A front was moving through and Seth was soaked when they found him, not that it mattered. Someone would point out that there was no mud on his shoes and no tracks below him, so therefore he was probably hanging and dead when the rain began. Why was that important? Ultimately, it was not.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe logistics of hanging oneself from a tree are not that simple. Evidently, Seth thought of everything. The rope was three-quarter-inch braided natural Manila, of some age and easily strong enough to handle Seth, who weighed 160 pounds a month earlier at the doctor's office. Later, an employee in one of Seth's factories would report that he had seen his boss cut the fifty-foot length from a spool a week before using it in such dramatic fashion. One end was tied firmly to a lower branch of the same tree and secured with a slapdash mix of knots and lashings. But, they held. The other end was looped over a higher branch, two feet in girth and exactly twenty-one feet from the ground. From there it fell about nine feet, culminating in a perfect hangman's knot, one that Seth had undoubtedly worked on for some time.
