#1 bestselling author John Grishamâ€™s The Reckoning is his most powerful, surprising, and suspenseful thriller yet.

â€œA murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a family sagaâ€¦The ReckoningÂ is Grisham's argumentÂ that he's not justÂ a boilerplate thriller writer. Most jurors will think the counselor has madeÂ his case.â€

Â October 1946, Clanton, Mississippi

Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippiâ€™s favorite sonâ€”a decorated World War II hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church.Â Then one cool October morning he rose early, drove into town, and committed a shocking crime.Â Pete's only statement about itâ€”to the sheriff, to his lawyers, to the judge, to the jury, and to his familyâ€”was: "I have nothing to say." He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave.

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 Peteâ€™s defense attorney tries desperately to save him.Â

Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling,Â The ReckoningÂ would not be complete without Grishamâ€™s signature layers of legal suspense, and he delivers on every page.
