[This book cl ub meets every second Tuesday of the month at 7 pm]
\nJoin us online to discuss \;The Reckoning by \ ;John Grisham:
\n"October 1946\, Clanton\, Mississippi
\nPete Banning was Clanton\, Mi
ssissippi&rsquo\;s favorite son&mdash\;a decorated World War II hero\, the
patriarch of a prominent family\, a farmer\, father\, neighbor\, and a fa
ithful member of the Methodist church. \;Then one cool October morning
he rose early\, drove into town\, and committed a shocking crime. Pete's
only statement about it&mdash\;to the sheriff\, to his lawyers\, to the ju
dge\, to the jury\, and to his family&mdash\;was: "I have nothing to say."
He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grav
e. \; \; \; \; \; \;
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 Philip pines during World War II\; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to t he Clanton courtroom where Pete&rsquo\;s defense attorney tries desperatel y to save him." \;
