Natchez burning / Greg Iles.

Iles, Greg. (Author).

Summary:

Penn Cage must investigate when his father, a beloved family doctor and pillar of the community, is accused of murdering Violet Davis, the beautiful nurse with whom he worked in the dark days of the early 1960s.
Raised in the historic southern splendor of Natchez, Mississippi, Penn Cage learned all he knows of honor and duty from his father, Dr. Tom Cage. But now the beloved family doctor and pillar of the community has been accused of murdering Viola Turner, the African-American nurse with whom he worked in the dark days of the 1960s. Once a crusading prosecutor, Penn is determined to save his father, but Tom, stubbornly invoking doctor-patient privilege, refuses to even 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 waiting to tear their family apart. More chilling, this long buried sin is only a single thread in a conspiracy of greed and murder involving the vicious Double Eagles, an offshoot of the KKK, controlled by some of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the state. Aided by a dedicated reporter privy to Natchez's oldest secrets and by his fiance Caitlin Masters, Penn uncovers a trail of corruption and brutality that places his family squarely in the Double Eagle's crosshairs. With every step costing blood and faith, Penn is forced to confront the most wrentching dilemma of his life: does a man of honor choose his father or the truth?
