Greg Iles - The Bone Tree

Natchez Burning, Greg Iles' auspicious first volume in his southern gothic trilogy featuring former prosecutor Penn Cage, burst onto the New York Times bestseller list, landed at #2 in the first week of sale, and received tremendous praise from his peers and reviewers alike. Now, following the dramatic conclusion of Natchez Burning, The Bone Tree opens with Penn Cage and his fiancée, reporter and publisher Caitlin Masters, dealing with the aftermath of their near death at the hands of Brody Royal, the leader of the Double Eagles, a vicious sect of the KKK. But when FBI Special Agent John Kaiser arrives at the scene, he tells Penn that Brody was no longer in charge, that the real power of the organization now lies in the hands of a man much more fearsome: Forrest Knox.

Greg Iles wrote his first novel in 1993, Spandau Phoenix, which became the first of twelve New York Times bestsellers. With his third novel, Mortal Fear, Iles began setting his novels in Mississippi, and in The Quiet Game, his fourth, he created Penn Cage and placed him in Iles’s own hometown of Natchez, the oldest city on the Mississippi River.
