#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠John Grisham's most powerful, surprising, and suspenseful thriller yet â¢Â âA murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a family saga.â âUSA Today
October 1946, Clanton, Mississippi
Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippiâs favorite sonâa decorated World War II hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning he rose early, drove into town, and committed a shocking crime. Pete's only statement about itâto the sheriff, to his lawyers, to the judge, to the jury, and to his familyâwas: "I have nothing to say." He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave.
          Â
In a major novel unlike anything he has written before, John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during World War II; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clanton courtroom where Peteâs defense attorney tries desperately to save him.Â
Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoning would not be complete without Grishamâs signature layers of legal suspense, and he delivers on every page.
