Harper Lee to publish 'To Kill a Mockingbird' sequel, decades later

To Kill a Mockingbird will not be Harper Lee's only published book after all.

American publislishing house Harper announced Tuesday that Go Set a Watchman, a novel the Pulitzer Prize-winning author completed in the 1950s and put aside, will be released July 14. Rediscovered last fall, Go Set a Watchman is essentially a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, although it was finished earlier. The 304-page book will be Lee's second, and the first new work in more than 50 years.
