Grisham spent three years
on his first book 'A Time to Kill' (review)
and finished it in 1987. This was the starting point of his
career. It was soon joined by his second book 'The
Firm' which when he sold the film rights brought him into
the limelight and 'The Firm' became the biggest selling book
of 1991.
The success of 'The
Pelican Brief' confirmed Grisham's status as the master
author on legal thirillers. Some of his other books include
'The
Client', 'The Chamber', 'The
Runaway Jury', 'Skipping
Christmas', 'The Summons'
and 'The King of Torts'.
