About the Book

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles comes the first novel in his Natchez Burning trilogy--which also includes The Bone Tree and the upcoming Mississippi Blood--an epic trilogy that interweaves crimes, lies, and secrets past and present in a mesmerizing thriller featuring Southern lawyer and former prosecutor Penn Cage. Raised in the southern splendor of Natchez, Mississippi, Penn Cage learned all he knows of duty from his father, Dr. Tom Cage. But now the beloved family doctor has been accused of murdering the African American nurse with whom he worked in the dark days of the 1960s. Once a crusading prosecutor, Penn is determined to save his father, but Tom, stubbornly invoking doctor-patient privilege, refuses even to speak in his own defense. Penn's quest for the truth sends him deep into his father's past, where a sexually charged secret lies. More chilling, this long-buried sin is only one thread in a conspiracy of greed and murder involving the vicious Double Eagles, an offshoot of the KKK controlled by some of the most powerful men in the state. Aided by a dedicated reporter privy to Natchez's oldest secrets and by his fiancée, Caitlin Masters, Penn uncovers a trail of corruption and brutality that places his family squarely in the Double Eagles' crosshairs. With every step costing blood and faith, Penn is forced to confront the most wrenching dilemma of his life: Does a man of honor choose his father or the truth?

Review :
"An absorbing and electrifying tale that thriller fans will be sure to devour." - Library Journal (starred review) "Simply put, this is Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County for the "Breaking Bad" generation: life's rich pageant, delivered unharnessed and uncensored by a writer at the peak of his powers who is mad as hell, and just as heartbroken." - BookPage on Natchez Burning "The thriller of the year, of the decade even, is Natchez Burning... The first of a projected trilogy, Natchez Burning is Penn Cage's fourth outing. But you don't need to read its predecessors to be wholly consumed by this wonderful book. Buy, read, and marvel." - The Times (London) "Iles's most ambitious novel to date . . . Iles has told a deeply personal and moving tale with Natchez Burning and opened some old wounds. Readers will be spellbound . . . [A] can't-miss saga." - Bookreporter.com "Much more than a thriller, Iles's deftly plotted fourth Penn Cage novel doesn't flag for a moment . . . This superlative novel's main strength comes from the lead's struggle to balance family and honor." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This beautifully written novel represents some of the author's finest work...we eagerly await volume two." - Booklist (starred review) on Natchez Burning "It's been half a decade since Iles' last Penn Cage novel, but, oh boy, was it worth the wait! . . . This beautifully written novel represents some of the author's finest work, with sharper characterizations and a story of especially deep emotional resonance, and we eagerly await volume two." - Booklist (starred review) "Natchez Burning excels as a contemporary thriller . . . utterly--and chillingly--believable. Epic." - Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, MS) "If you only read one thriller this year, make it Greg Iles' Natchez Burning. A barnburner of a book . . . a sure-to-be bestseller [that] is southern suspense at its finest." - Madison County Herald "Obliterates the artificial distinction between genre and literary fiction with passion, grace and considerable style. This is Greg Iles at his formidable best. It's good to have him back." - Washington Post "Natchez Burning obliterates the artificial distinction between genre and literary fiction with passion, grace and considerable style. This is Greg Iles at his formidable best. It's good to have him back." - Washington Post "It is rare when a book as impactful and daring as Natchez Burning appears . . . Its intriguing plot demands to be read from beginning to end . . . It is compelling reading that awes [and] entertains at the same time." - Huffington Post "A memorable, harrowing tale." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Natchez Burning "A searing tale of racial hatreds and redemption in the modern South, courtesy of Southern storyteller extraordinaire Iles. . . . A memorable, harrowing tale." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A whopping tale, filled with enough cliff-hanging crises for an old summer-long movie-serial. Yet there are still enough unresolved matters at the end of Natchez Burning for two already-promised sequels." - Wall Street Journal "Natchez Burning excels as a contemporary thriller.... Utterly--and chillingly--believable. Epic." - Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, MS) "Flat-out terrific.... It brings to mind Thomas Wolfe and William Faulkner, even while its cagey plot and restless energy keeps you flying through the pages. Greg Iles is back and truly better than ever." - Scott Turow, #1 New York Times bestselling author
