The Reckoning

by John Grisham

John Grisham returns to Clanton, Mississippi, to tell the story of an unthinkable murder, the bizarre trial that follows it, and its profound and lasting effect on the people of Ford County.

Pete Banning was Clanton's favourite son, a returning war hero. One cool October morning in 1946, he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder wasn't shocking enough, what was even more baffling was Pete's only statement, “I have nothing to say.”


Fire & Blood

by George R. R. Martin, Doug Wheatley (Illustrator)

Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen – the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria – took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.
