Last fall, John Grisham told Matt Lauer on the Today Show that he was seriously considering a sequel to his first and favorite novel, A Time to Kill. Over the years, he said, he has “been looking for some other trial [Mississippi lawyer] Jake could have a couple of years after the trial in A Time to Kill…and I’ve found the story.”

Random House just announced that Grisham’s next book will be that sequel, Sycamore Row (via the AP sydicated story), to be published on Oct. 22 by the Doubleday division of Random House (also RH Audio, BOT and RH Large Print).
