ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Reckoning" by John Grisham is a gripping legal thriller set in post-World War II Mississippi. The story follows Pete Banning, a decorated war hero who commits a shocking murder of Reverend Dexter Bell in their small town. As the trial unfolds, themes of trauma, the weight of secrets, and the complexities of justice emerge. The narrative delves into the psychological scars of war, the impact of family legacy, and the moral ambiguity surrounding Pete’s actions. Grisham expertly weaves Southern Gothic elements throughout, creating a haunting exploration of guilt, shame, and the quest for understanding in a fractured community.
