ISBN: 9781473684577.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI couldnt help thinking of Harper Lees great American novel \"To Kill a Mockingbird\" while reading The Reckoning . . . [Grisham] knows how to spin a yarn - Chicago Sun-Times\nMay be his greatest work yet - David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon\nIn his unforgettable new novel, John Grisham tells the story of an unthinkable murder, the bizarre trial that followed it, and its profound and lasting effect on the people of Ford County.\nPete Banning was Clantons favourite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbour, and a faithful member of the Methodist Church. Then one cool October morning in 1946. he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell.\nAs if the murder wasnt shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Petes only statement about it - to the sheriff, to his defense attorney, to the judge, to his family and friends, and to the people of Clanton - was I have nothing to say.\nAnd so the murder of the esteemed Reverend Bell became the most mysterious and unforgettable crime Ford County had ever known.\n\nFurther praise for The Reckoning\nBeautifully constructed . . . weaves a truly magical spell - Daily Mail\nIn this saga of love and war, John Grisham has given us a sprawling and engrossing story about a southern family, a global conflict, and the kinds of secrets that can shape all of us. From the courtrooms and jails of rural Mississippi to the war-torn Pacific, Grisham spins a tale that is at once entertaining and illuminating - Jon Meacham, New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of America\nJohn Grisham is the master of legal fiction, and his latest starts with a literal bang - and then travels backward through the horrors of war to explore what makes a hero, what makes a villain, and how thin the line between the two might be - Jodi Picoult, internationally bestselling author of A Spark of Light and Small Great Things\n\nWhen a master of storytelling and suspense takes on one of the most wrenching stories in history, the result is a book that will break your heart, set your blood pumping and your mind racing, and leave you gasping for breath by the final page.
