To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee sues her agent over royalties
Ailing Harper Lee says that she was deprived of royalties from 'To Kill a Mockingbird'
To Kill a Mockingbird was Harper Lee's only published novel.
Harper Lee, the 87-year-old author of To Kill a Mockingbird, has sued her literary agent, claiming he took advantage of her age and infirmity to deprive her of royalties from the novel.
Lee, of Monroeville, in the US state of Alabama, sued Samuel Pinkus, the agent, and others seeking to ensure her ownership of the copyright to the 1960 novel and to compel forfeiture of the agent's commissions, according to a complaint filed in a US federal court in New York.
