Pertenece a las seriesPenn Cage (7)
The hugely anticipated new Penn Cage novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Natchez Burning trilogy and Cemetery Road, about a man--and a town--rocked by anarchy and tragedy, but unbowed in the fight to save those they love. Fifteen years after the events of the Natchez Burning trilogy, Penn Cage is alone. Nearly all his loved ones are dead, his old allies gone. But Penn's self-imposed exile comes to an abrupt end when a brawl at a Bienville music festival triggers a shooting--one that nearly takes the life of his daughter Annie. Before the stunned populace can process the tragedy, an arsonist begins torching antebellum plantation homes in Bienville. When an unknown Black group claims the fires as acts of justice, panic ensues, driving the Mississippi River town to the brink of war. When Penn's closest friend in Bienville is shot to death on the street by a county deputy, mass protests ignite, and the community descends into open hostilities. State and county politicos use the mayhem as an excuse to dissolve the city government and seize control, and enraged activists begin converging on the town from far-away states to see their own brand of justice done. In Southern Man, Greg Iles returns to the riveting style and historic depth that made the Natchez Burning trilogy a searing masterpiece and hurls the narrative fifteen years forward into our current moment--where America teeters on the fence between anarchy and salvation.

Y’all know this is one of my favorite authors. And he has outdone himself with this one. Of course, I think I say that with every one of his books. But this book, especially the ending, had me all in knots! I was terrified with where this story was going to end up!
As in true Greg Iles fashion, he incorporates some of the best mix of good and bad southern characters. So, there is also racism, politics, arson, and murder thrown into this unique tale you do not want to miss.
Now, as I always say about his books. These are smart reads. You cannot skim. If you do, you will miss something vital and have to backtrack (speaking from experience!) This novel, as with all his novels, you need to pay attention to every detail because it will be the detail you need to know! Trust me!
Need a good southern novel with a little bit of everything…THIS IS IT!
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. ( )
