Brandon, MS: Dogwood Press Books (August 2026)
Paperback. Signed.
Two years ago, conman Philip Mason, who posed as the superior and abbot of the Christian Center for Peace and Life, scammed the late Sandra Weaver out of thousands of dollars before she took her life. Sandra’s grieving widow, banker Blake Weaver, ambushed Mason, thwarting his attempt to transport his ill-gotten funds out of the country, though the conman managed to escape a law enforcement dragnet and flee the country.
Now the Chief Deputy Sheriff at the Chatawa County Sheriff’s Office, Blake receives a tip from a confidential informant that huge quantities of fentanyl-laced Xanax are about to hit the local market. That confidential informant is none other than Gregory Lawson, the man Philip Mason entrusted to help him transport the large sums of money Mason had bilked from victims like Sandra Weaver. Can Blake possibly trust Lawson?
An electrifying tale of revenge and redemption set in close-knit Krammerton, Mississippi, The Reckoning returns Blake and his new wife, Carrie Parks, from Scott Lenoir’s sizzling debut, The Amendment, and introduces young Daniel Eddings, a young IT whiz who, like Blake, is a recovering alcoholic. While Blake loves Daniel like a son, can he trust him to come through during the investigation—which includes staying sober—when Blake needs him the most?
Originally from McComb, Mississippi, Scott Lenoir is a retired Episcopal priest and was the editor of The Mississippi Episcopalian for 12 years. He and his wife, Harriet, live in Gautier on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and have two grown children. The Reckoning is his second novel.
