The Reckoning by John Grisham

John Grisham’s most powerful, surprising, and accomplished novel yet!

John Grisham is the author of thirty-two novels, one work of nonfiction, a collection of stories, and six novels for young readers. His upcoming novel, The Recockoning, which gets released on October 23, 2018, seems very captivating.

An overview of The Reckoning, as stated on the Barnes & Noble website, is:

"John Grisham returns to Clanton, Mississippi, to tell the story of an unthinkable murder, the bizarre trial that follows it, and its profound and lasting effect on the people of Ford County.

Pete Banning was Clanton's favorite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, 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. As if the murder wasn't shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete's 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." And so the murder of the esteemed Reverend Bell became the most mysterious and unforgettable crime Ford County had ever known."
