**Don't miss the latest _Natchez Burning_ novel, SOUTHERN MAN**

From #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author Greg Iles comes the first novel in his _Natchez Burning_ trilogy--which also includes _The Bone Tree_ and the upcoming _Mississippi Blood_\--an epic trilogy that interweaves crimes, lies, and secrets past and present in a mesmerizing legal thriller featuring Southern lawyer and former prosecutor Penn Cage.

Raised in the southern splendor of Natchez, Mississippi, Penn Cage learned all he knows of duty from his father, Dr. Tom Cage. But now the beloved family doctor has been accused of murdering the African American nurse with whom he worked in the dark days of the 1960s, a haunting civil rights cold case. Once a crusading prosecutor, Penn is determined to save his father, but Tom, stubbornly invoking doctor-patient privilege, refuses even to speak in his own defense.

Penn's quest for the truth sends him deep into his father's past, where a sexually charged secret lies. More chilling, this long-buried sin is only one thread in a conspiracy of greed and murder involving the vicious Double Eagles, an offshoot of the KKK controlled by some of the most powerful men in the state. Aided by a dedicated reporter privy to Natchez's oldest secrets and by his fiancée, Caitlin Masters, Penn uncovers a trail of Southern Gothic corruption and brutality that places his family squarely in the Double Eagles' crosshairs.

Growing up in the rural Southern hamlet of Natchez, Mississippi, Penn Cage learned everything he knows about honor and duty from his father, Tom Cage.
