Resumen del Editor

“A superb entertainment that is a work of power, distinction and high seriousness.”–Washington Post

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles come the widely acclaimed Natchez Burning trilogy, featuring Penn Cage

Natchez Burning

Raised in Natchez, Mississippi, Penn Cage learned all he knows from his father, Dr. Tom Cage. But now Tom has been accused of murdering the Black nurse with whom he worked in the 1960s and Penn is determined to exonerate him. The quest for answers leads down a trail of corruption and brutality that places Penn’s family squarely in the crosshairs of the Double Eagles, a vicious offshoot of the KKK controlled by some of the state’s most powerful men. Penn ultimately must acknowledge that secrets from his father’s past have put the Cage family in great jeopardy.

The Bone Tree

Penn Cage’s family is in crisis, has inadvertently started a war with an offshoot of the KKK called the Double Eagles, and his fiancée, journalist Caitlin Masters, is chasing the biggest—and most dangerous—story of her career. The only path out of this chaos is taking on the powerful men behind the Double Eagles, who are hiding a secret legacy darker than anything Penn can imagine. All roads lead to the Bone Tree, a legendary killing site that conceals far more than the remains of the forgotten—and where the shadow of personal tragedy threatens all Penn holds dearest.

Mississippi Blood

Penn Cage is shattered by grief and dreaming of vengeance. The woman he loves is gone, and his father Dr. Tom Cage is about to be tried for murder. When Tom stubbornly refuses to speak in his own defense, Penn joins forces with Serenity Butler, a famous young Black author who has come to Natchez to write about his father's case. Together, Penn and Serenity battle to discover the secret history of the Cage family and the South itself, a desperate move that risks the only thing they have left to gamble: their lives.

Great book the best

This is a great trilogy although the narrator changed on the third book, overall great story that kept me listening for hours. Wish all books were this long and entertaining. i would recommend.

the entire story.

outstanding. Found it hard to put down.
excellent writer
i first read Cemetery Road and loved the author so i searched for more.

great story

description of the geography in the south puts you there, the emotion emitted keeps you wanting more..thanks for writing this trilogy.

Everything

There wasn’t anything I disliked about it. Once I started I couldn’t stop. I had to force myself to stop it. Each chapter was more heart racing than the previous. I had only seen movies or articles about how the south really was and if truth be known probably still is somewhat.

Wow

Excellent! Looking forward to the next in the series being released! Sad that so many of the same themes exist in the world today!

Full of history

it's very long.. Recommend listening to one book and then take a break before starting on the next

Excellent series

Outstanding writing of a difficult situation that remains in our lives today as well as it did in yesteryear

Intense and Constantly Twisting Plot

Had me in its grip for the entire 90+ hours it took to tell the story. Greg Iles takes us through our country’s dark past with characters that I know walk amongst us today.
All three narrators hand off the baton from book to book with almost seamless effort. They maintained the seriousness and emotional baggage of each key character.

Does not get much better!

What a rollercoaster of a ride! With tears in my eyes I could not wait to pick up where I left off the day before and just kept getting sucked into the story!!! So well written…., so well performed! And what a story!!!! Loved every minute of such long book/books!!!! 6 out of 5 stars for me!!!

Very interesting

These books are great. They are very interesting and keeps you hooked but they are too long and drawn out. The author is very talented. It takes a lot of work to keep all those details and characters straight.
