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.

the entire story.

outstanding. Found it hard to put down.
excellent writer
i first read Cemetery Road and loved the author so i searched for more.

Beyond brilliant!!!!

This was one of the most compelling trilogies, books, stories I have ever listened to. Greg Iles is new to my listening pleasure, but can he ever write. I could hardly stop listening to this story just when I thought maybe it was going to end there was a twist that was unbelievable. And it kept going like that throughout the whole 92 hours. I can recommend this so highly this man is an amazing writer. His vocabulary and descriptions made you feel like you were in the midst of the story. I’ll be reading a lot more from this man. I would suggest you do the same.

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!

Full of history

it's very long.. Recommend listening to one book and then take a break before starting on the next

Great book the best

This is a great trilogy although the narrator changed on the third book, overall great story that kept me listening for hours. Wish all books were this long and entertaining. i would recommend.

Wow! What a great story!!

What an amazing, intricate and methodical novel. This is the sort of book you think - how can anyone think of so many details, string them all together and still make it interesting!
I loved everything. I laughed, shed tears and fell for the characters.
This classic southern murder courtroom drama is action packed and filled with history, pain, love and family. Each ending left me shocked. I didnt anticipate those events. I'm excited and sad the next book in the series is the last.
What the heck will Pen Cage do next?? I'm going to go find out!! Bye!

great story

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

Everything

There wasn’t anything I disliked about it. Once I started I couldn’t stop. I had to force myself to stop it. Each chapter was more heart racing than the previous. I had only seen movies or articles about how the south really was and if truth be known probably still is somewhat.

compelling !nd riveting story.

character development and story line really command your attention. The author has a way with words and a gift for story telling.

The story line

The book was great, the narrator grew on me by the 2nd chapter. I enjoyed the whole series
