Mississippi Blood (Penn Cage/The Natchez Burning #3) by Greg Iles (HB/DJ-VGC/1st ED) #LMB156-REF0ac
Shattered by grief & dreaming of vengeance, Penn Cage sees his family & his world collapsing around him. The woman he loves is gone, his principles have been compromised, & his father is about to be tried for the murder of a former lover. Despite Penn's experience as a prosecutor in major murder trials, his father has frozen him out of the trial preparations-preferring to risk dying in prison to revealing the truth of the crime to his son.
For 40 years, Tom Cage made himself the most respected & beloved physician in Natchez, Mississippi. But he has secrets known only to himself & a handful of others. Among them, Tom has a second son, the product of an affair with an African American nurse, Viola Turner, who has been murdered. Her bitter son-Penn's half brother-who sets in motion the murder case against his father. The resulting investigation exhumes ghosts from Mississippi's violent past. In some way that Penn cannot fathom, Viola Turner was a nexus point between his father & the Double Eagles, the KKK. More troubling still, the long-buried secrets shared by Dr. Cage & the former Klansmen may hold the key to the most devastating assassinations. The Double Eagles will stop at nothing to keep their past crimes buried, & seek to ensure that Dr. Cage either takes the fall for them or takes his secrets to an early grave.
Unless Penn can pierce the veil of the past & exonerate his father, his family will be destroyed. Unable to trust anyone around him, 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 & Serenity battle to crack the Double Eagles, a desperate move that risks the only thing they have left to gamble: their lives.
