John Grisham is a well-known writer, attorney, politician, and activist, whose legal thrillers have wooed his audience worldwide. His first novel, A Time to Kill, was published in June 1989, four years after he began writing it. As of 2012, his books have sold over 275 million copies worldwide. A Galaxy British Book Awards winner, Grisham is one of only three authors to sell 2 million copies on a first printing.
Grisham's first bestseller, The Firm, sold more than seven million copies. The book was adapted into a 1993 feature film of the same name, starring Tom Cruise, and a 2012 TV series which continues the story of attorney Mitchell McDeere and his family 10 years after the events of the film and novel. Eight of his other novels have also been adapted into films: The Chamber, The Client, A Painted House, The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker, The Runaway Jury, Skipping Christmas, and A Time to Kill.
The inspiration for his first novels, as said by Grisham was a 12-year old girl who was at a trial in court. He heard the girl tell her story to the jury and was intrigued by her story and started contemplating what-ifs. This is how A Time to Kill was born.
