Harper Lee, 87, sues her literary agent, claiming he tricked her into giving him her rights to "To Kill a Mockingbird."

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is the only book she ever wrote, so don't be expecting "To Sue a Literary Agent."

Harper Lee, 87, says Samuel Pinkus took advantage of her failing hearing and eyesight to transfer the rights and has failed to respond to licence requests.

I originally saw the story about this lawsuit in The Daily Mail, which contains this line:

Lee, who lives in Monroeville, Alaska, has taken legal action to get the copyright reassigned but alleges Pinkus still received commissions.

I almost blogged what I thought was more interesting news: That the reclusive author, whose name we associate with the Deep South, has taken up residence in Alaska. Oh, those 2-letter state abbreviations. So tough for the UK news media to keep track of.
