It has been 30 years since John Grisham released his first novel, "A Time to Kill." Since then, his books have sold more than 300 million copies. His latest book is titled "The Reckoning."
John Grisham’s latest book, “The Reckoning,” is part war novel, part legal drama. In it, Grisham returns to his favorite fictional setting, Clanton, Mississippi, to tell the story of a mysterious murder committed by one of the small town’s most prominent citizens, a cotton farmer who just returned from a tour in the Pacific during World War II.
In Grisham’s conversation with Diane, he explains how manages to publish a book a year, and discusses the politics of race in the South in the 1940s when “The Reckoning” takes place, in the 1950s and 60s when he grew up, and today.
