The Reckoning
₱99.00‘i couldn’t help thinking of harper lee’s great american novel to kill a mockingbird while reading the reckoning . . . [grisham] knows how to spin a yarn’ – chicago sun-times ‘may be his greatest work yet’ – david grann, new york times bestselling author of killers of the flower moon in his unforgettable novel, john grisham tells the story of an unthinkable murder, the bizarre trial that followed it, and its profound and lasting effect on the people of ford county. pete banning was clanton’s favourite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family; a farmer, father, 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’. what turned pete from a pillar of the community into cold-hearted killer? and why won’t he confide in anyone? all his closest family knows is that it must have been something devastating- and that the fallout will haunt them, and the town, for decades to come . . . further praise for the reckoning ‘beautifully constructed . . . weaves a truly magical spell’ – daily mail ‘in this saga of love and war, john grisham has given us a sprawling and engrossing story about a southern family, a global conflict, and the kinds of secrets that can shape all of us. from the courtrooms and jails of rural mississippi to the war-torn pacific, grisham spins a tale that is at once entertaining and illuminating’ – jon meacham, new york times bestselling author of the soul of america ‘john grisham is the master of legal fiction, and his latest starts with a literal bang – and then travels backward through the horrors of war to explore what makes a hero, what makes a villain, and how thin the line between the two might be’ – jodi picoult, internationally bestselling author of a spark of light and small great things ‘when a master of storytelling and suspense takes on one of the most wrenching stories in history, the result is a book that will break your heart, set your blood pumping and your mind racing, and leave you gasping for breath by the final page. i’m still trying to recover from the reckoning’ – candice millard, new york times bestselling author of the river of doubt and destiny of the republic ************ the innocent man by john grisham is now a major six-part documentary series on netflix ************

The Guardians
₱99.00The sunday times bestseller from international bestseller john grisham. ‘grisham at his passionate best’ – daily mail he was framed for murder. now he needs a miracle. 22 years ago quincy miller was sentenced to life without parole. he was accused of killing keith russo, a lawyer in a small florida town. but there were no reliable witnesses and little motive. just the fact that russo had botched quincy’s divorce case, that quincy was black in a largely all-white town and that a blood-splattered torch was found in the boot of quincy’s car. a torch he swore was planted. a torch that was conveniently destroyed in a fire just before his trial. the lack of evidence made no difference to judge or jury. in the eyes of the law quincy was guilty and, no matter how often he protested his innocence, his punishment was life in prison. finally, after 22 years, comes quincy’s one and only chance of freedom. an innocence lawyer and minister, cullen post, takes on his case. post has exonerated eight men in the last ten years. he intends to make quincy the next. but there were powerful and ruthless people behind russo’s murder. they prefer that an innocent man dies in jail rather than one of them. there’s one way to guarantee that. they killed one lawyer 22 years ago, and they’ll kill another without a second thought. praise for john grisham’s the guardians: ‘a canny and engrossing blend of two types of grisham novel: enough of the familiar formula of a single lawsuit in a single town, mixed with a more picaresque and multistranded approach that has the significant advantage of taking in a wider swathe of america’ – the sunday times ‘delivered with all his signature easy, flowing style. a past master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos, grisham makes this a deceptively easy read’ – irish independent ‘this is typical grisham: speedy, gripping, very good at conveying the complexities of the law in a digestible way’ – sunday express ‘speedy and gripping’ – daily mirror 350+ million copies, 45 languages, 9 blockbuster films: no one writes drama like john grisham
