Publisher's summary

“A superb entertainment that is a work of power, distinction and high seriousness.”–Washington Post

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles come the widely acclaimed Natchez Burning trilogy, featuring Penn Cage

Natchez Burning

Raised in Natchez, Mississippi, Penn Cage learned all he knows from his father, Dr. Tom Cage. But now Tom has been accused of murdering the Black nurse with whom he worked in the 1960s and Penn is determined to exonerate him. The quest for answers leads down a trail of corruption and brutality that places Penn’s family squarely in the crosshairs of the Double Eagles, a vicious offshoot of the KKK controlled by some of the state’s most powerful men. Penn ultimately must acknowledge that secrets from his father’s past have put the Cage family in great jeopardy.

The Bone Tree

Penn Cage’s family is in crisis, has inadvertently started a war with an offshoot of the KKK called the Double Eagles, and his fiancée, journalist Caitlin Masters, is chasing the biggest—and most dangerous—story of her career. The only path out of this chaos is taking on the powerful men behind the Double Eagles, who are hiding a secret legacy darker than anything Penn can imagine. All roads lead to the Bone Tree, a legendary killing site that conceals far more than the remains of the forgotten—and where the shadow of personal tragedy threatens all Penn holds dearest.

Mississippi Blood

Penn Cage is shattered by grief and dreaming of vengeance. The woman he loves is gone, and his father Dr. Tom Cage is about to be tried for murder. When Tom stubbornly refuses to speak in his own defense, Penn joins forces with Serenity Butler, a famous young Black author who has come to Natchez to write about his father's case. Together, Penn and Serenity battle to discover the secret history of the Cage family and the South itself, a desperate move that risks the only thing they have left to gamble: their lives.

Wow

Excellent! Looking forward to the next in the series being released! Sad that so many of the same themes exist in the world today!

great story

description of the geography in the south puts you there, the emotion emitted keeps you wanting more..thanks for writing this trilogy.

Does not get much better!

What a rollercoaster of a ride! With tears in my eyes I could not wait to pick up where I left off the day before and just kept getting sucked into the story!!! So well written…., so well performed! And what a story!!!! Loved every minute of such long book/books!!!! 6 out of 5 stars for me!!!

Epic and brilliant!

I originally read these books a while back and loved them. The Audiobooks Just made me love this story even more. Greg Iles is a fantastic storyteller and these three books are unputdownable!

three books by Greg Isles

lots of unexpected twists. loved the character development of good and evil. I always learn something about trials.

Wake me up before you go go (or before something new happens)

I was looking for something to listen to while preparing my garden for spring, when I saw a 96 hour three book mystery thriller with Scott Brick narrating the third book, I was sure that was my super one Audible credit deal. How wrong I was, while the story line is intense and exciting it was SLOW and very repetitive.

Couldn’t get into it

The storyline jumps around and I just couldn’t get into it. Could have been interesting but I didn’t hold my attention long enough to find out.
