A sequel to A TIME TO KILL
He will make them pay . . .
Jake Brigance has never met Seth Hubbard, or even heard of him, until the old man's suicide note names him attorney for his estate. The will is dynamite. Seth has left ninety per cent of his vast, secret fortune to his housemaid.
The vultures are circling even before the body is cold: the only subject more incendiary than money in Ford County is race, and this case has both.
As the relatives contest the will, and unscrupulous lawyers hasten to benefit, Jake searches for answers to the many questions left by Seth Hubbard's death:
What made him write that last-minute will leaving everything to a poor black woman named Lettie Lang?
Why did he choose to kill himself on the desolate piece of land known as Sycamore Row?
And what was it that Seth and his brother witnessed as children that, in his words, 'no human should ever see'?

Condición: Muy bueno. : En Sycamore Row, John Grisham nos presenta la secuela de Tiempo de matar. Jake Brigance nunca conoció a Seth Hubbard, ni siquiera había oído hablar de él, hasta que la nota de suicidio del anciano lo nombra abogado de su patrimonio. El testamento es dinamita. Seth ha dejado el noventa por ciento de su vasta fortuna secreta a su empleada doméstica. Los buitres están dando vueltas incluso antes de que el cuerpo esté frío: el único tema más incendiario que el dinero en el condado de Ford es la raza, y este caso tiene ambos. Mientras los familiares impugnan el testamento y los abogados sin escrúpulos se apresuran a beneficiarse, Jake busca respuestas a las muchas preguntas que dejó la muerte de Seth Hubbard: ¿Qué lo hizo escribir ese testamento de última hora dejando todo a una pobre mujer negra llamada Lettie Lang? ¿Por qué eligió suicidarse en la desolada parcela de tierra conocida como Sycamore Row? ¿Y qué fue lo que Seth y su hermano presenciaron cuando eran niños que, en sus palabras, 'ningún humano debería ver'?
