Natchez Burning: Part 1 of 6 by Greg Iles

5.0

"Greg Isles is an amazing story teller and his eagerly anticipated new novel proves this beyond a doubt. Natchez Burning is the first in an epic trilogy which starts in 1964 during the heated days of civil rights action in Natchez and the nearby areas of Louisiana. The past comes back with a vengeance as Penn Cage is forced to find out the long hidden truths about what happened during this turbulent time in order to defend his father, the beloved Dr. Cage, from a murder charge. We are treated to a fascinating history of corruption and evil which may still be going on in present time. We are tantalized with hints at conspiracies on a national level. But most of all, we are shown how far family will go to protect family."
