Publisher's summary

When former prosecutor Penn Cage returns to his hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, he doesn't find the peace he desperately craves. He finds that his own father is being blackmailed by a corrupt ex-cop. And when Penn investigates, he uncovers a murderous secret - and the small town's violent past.

Critic reviews

"The pace is frenetic, the fear and paranoia palpable, and the characters heartbreakingly honest. Iles strikes not one false note.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

“Would make James Lee Burke or even Pat Conroy proud. This is storytelling at its absolute best, a tale of near-epic status.” (Providence Sunday Journal)

“A superb legal-conspiracy thriller that brings the deep South to life…an enthralling tale.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Great

Could hardly put it down. I found the political parts especially interesting given our current situation.

Very good mystery

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I thought the narrator did a terrific job with all the characters. The story was a twisty, turvy, tale of murder, corruption, and heartbreak. I will definitely be getting more of this author's titles.

1999 comes alive

This is (I believe) the original Peen Cage novel. Released in 1999. Thus the story is somewhat dated but the theme is timeless.

Coach

I listen to this book while traveling on the road in my truck, and found myself a lot of times sitting at my destinations, and just listening, because the story is so gripping!
