The Reckoning: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

#1 bestselling writer John Grisham’s The Reckoning is his most effective, surprising, and suspenseful thriller yet.

“A murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a family group saga…The Reckoning is Grisham’s argument that he’s not just a boilerplate thriller writer. Many jurors will think the counselor has produced his case.”

-USA Today

Oct 1946, Clanton, Mississippi

Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippi’s favorite son-a decorated World Battle II hero, the patriarch about The Reckoning: A Book of a prominent family, a farmer, dad, neighbor, and a faithful person in the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning hours he increased early, drove into town, and committed a shocking criminal offense. Pete’s only statement about it-to the sheriff, to his lawyers, towards the judge, to the jury, and to his family-was: ‘I have nil to say.’ He had not been afraid of death and was ready to take his purpose to the grave.

In a significant novel unlike anything he provides written before, John Grisham will take us on an incredible journey, from your Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during World Battle II; from an crazy asylum filled with secrets towards the Clanton courtroom where Pete’s defense attorney tries desperately to save him.

Reminiscent of the finest custom of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoning wouldn’t normally be total without Grisham’s personal levels of legal suspense, and he delivers on every web page.
