The first in a two-part series, a new Penn Cage thriller set in the
South--from the New York Times" bestselling author "who puts the horror
in a believable context" (The Washington Post") and "who just keeps
getting better" (Booklist").
Featuring the return of popular hero Penn Cage ("Devil's Punchbowl,"
"Turning Angel," "The Quiet Game"), this suspenseful tale set in the
deep south is filled with long-held secrets and unresolved mysteries;
and, perhaps most worrisome of all, a serious threat to the well-being
of Tom Cage, Penn's father, the respected doctor who is the moral center
of the Penn Cage books.
This is classic Greg Iles territory, where the South's past and present
lie eternally entangled; where the sins of the father pass from
generation to generation; and where a murder from yesteryear finds new
life--and victims--in the present. Penn Cage faces a son's biggest
nightmare--having his father stand accused of murder.
In Natchez, where the past is never truly "past," long-buried secrets
turn lethal when exposed to the light of day. Confronted by the still
living remaining members of the Double-Eagle Club--as well as their much
more threatening sons--Penn Cage, Caitlin, and Tom Cage face more danger
than ever before.
