The Bone Tree (Penn Cage)

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles comes the second novel in his Natchez Burning trilogy€"which also includes Natchez Burning and the upcoming Mississippi Blood€"an epic trilogy of blood and race, family and justice, featuring Southern lawyer Penn Cage.

Former prosecutor Penn Cage and his fianc©e, reporter and publisher Caitlin Masters, have barely escaped with their lives after being attacked by wealthy businessman Brody Royal and his Double Eagles, a KKK sect with ties to some of Mississippi€s most powerful men. But the real danger has only begun as FBI Special Agent John Kaiser warns Penn that Brody wasn€t the true leader of the Double Eagles. The puppeteer who actually controls the terrorist group is a man far more fearsome: the chief of the state police€s Criminal Investigations Bureau, Forrest Knox.

The only way Penn can save his father, Dr. Tom Cage€"who is fleeing a murder charge as well as corrupt cops bent on killing him€"is either to make a devil€s bargain with Knox or destroy him. While Penn desperately pursues both options, Caitlin uncovers the real story behind a series of unsolved civil rights murders that may hold the key to the Double Eagles€ downfall. The trail leads her deep into the past, into the black backwaters of the Mississippi River, to a secret killing ground used by slave owners and the Klan for over two hundred years . . . a place of terrifying evil known only as €œthe bone tree.€

The Bone Tree is an explosive, action-packed thriller full of twisting intrigue and deadly secrets, a tale that explores the conflicts and casualties that result when the darkest truths of American history come to light. It puts us inside the skin of a noble man who has always fought for justice€"now finally pushed beyond his limits.

Just how far will Penn Cage, the hero we thought we knew, go to protect those he loves?
