Meet Author GREG ILES

Rich in Southern atmosphere and electrifying plot turns, Natchez Burning is the first book in a new trilogy starring Penn Cage.

“Much more than a thriller, Iles’s deftly plotted fourth Penn Cage novel doesn’t flag for a moment, despite its length… This superlative novel’s main strength comes from the lead’s struggle to balance family and honor.”

Publishers Weekly, Pick of the Week, Starred Review (February 10, 2014)

“In this first of a trilogy, best-selling author Iles brings back his Southern lawyer in an absorbing and electrifying tale that thriller fans will be sure to devour.”

Library Journal, Starred Review (February 15, 2014)

“This beautifully written novel represents some of the author’s finest work, with sharper characterizations and a story of especially deep emotional resonance, and we eagerly await volume two.” Booklist, Starred Review (March 1, 2014)

“A searing tale of racial hatreds and redemption in the modern South, courtesy of Southern storyteller extraordinaire Iles.... Iles is a master of regional literature, though he’s dealing with universals here, one being our endless thirst to right wrongs. A memorable, harrowing tale.”
