A Time to Kill by John Grisham

A Time to Kill was John Grisham's first book, and it tackles an issue that is still being dealt with in small-town America every day: Race and Racism. Set in Small Town Mississippi, a young black girl is sexually assaulted by two white males. What follows feels like it's straight out of the 1960s, but Grisham definitely conveys the feeling that the threat of open race war is a very real possibility today..
