In his 2018 standalone novel The Reckoning, John Grisham blends genres—legal thriller, murder mystery, family saga, and historical fiction—set in post‑World War II Mississippi

The story centers on Pete Banning, a respected war veteran who unexpectedly murders his town's Methodist minister and refuses to explain himself. Facing trial and the death penalty, Pete remains silent. The novel then pulls back in time, revealing his harrowing experiences in the Bataan Death March and Tagalog guerrilla warfare during WWII

In its final act, surviving family members piece together painful truths about loyalty, betrayal, and racial tensions in Jim Crow Mississippi. The story resolves with a surprising reveal about Pete’s motive—and haunting consequences for those left behind

Perfect for fans of Grisham seeking depth beyond courtroom drama—a thoughtful tale of honour, regret, wartime trauma, and moral complexity
