Features: This novel, which appears to follow the typical small-town mystery structure of a mystery novel, cleverly involves a transnational crime group. Combined with police procedures, exciting logical reasoning, and top-notch action sequences, it quickly attracted attention from the international publishing industry. The UK publisher even boldly claimed on the cover, "As good as John Grisham, or your money back." The Reckoning dominated the bestseller list of the UK Times, won the Anthony Award and Barry Award for Best New Writer in the US, and was also nominated for the Macavity Award and the Dilys Award, achieving both fame and fortune.
