Series Volume Number5
SynopsisGreg Iles continues the electrifying story begun in his smash New York Times bestseller Natchez Burning in this highly anticipated second installment of an epic trilogy of blood and race, family and justice, featuring Southern lawyer Penn Cage. Former prosecutor Penn Cage and his fiancée, reporter and publisher Caitlin Masters, have barely escaped with their lives after being attacked by wealthy businessman Brody Royal and his Double Eagles, a KKK sect with ties to some of Mississippi's most powerful men. But the real danger has only begun as FBI Special Agent John Kaiser warns Penn that Brody wasn't the true leader of the Double Eagles. The puppeteer who actually controls the terrorist group is a man far more fearsome: the chief of the state police's Criminal Investigations Bureau, Forrest Knox. The only way Penn can save his father, Dr. Tom Cage-who is fleeing a murder charge as well as corrupt cops bent on killing him-is either to make a devil's bargain with Knox or destroy him. While Penn desperately pursues both options, Caitlin uncovers the real story behind a series of unsolved civil rights murders that may hold the key to the Double Eagles' downfall. The trail leads her deep into the past, into the black backwaters of the Mississippi River, to a secret killing ground used by slave owners and the Klan for over two hundred years . . . a place of terrifying evil known only as "the bone tree." The Bone Tree is an explosive, action-packed thriller full of twisting intrigue and deadly secrets, a tale that explores the conflicts and casualties that result when the darkest truths of American history come to light. It puts us inside the skin of a noble man who has always fought for justice-now finally pushed beyond his limits. Just how far will Penn Cage, the hero we thought we knew, go to protect those he loves?, From #1 New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles comes the second novel in his Natchez Burning trilogy--which also includes Natchez Burning and the upcoming Mississippi Blood--an epic trilogy of blood and race, family and justice, featuring Southern lawyer Penn Cage.

Master storytelling...too much information
Iles is a master storyteller, wordsmith and researcher of the first magnitude. His plot and characters are believable, highly developed and compelling. Only one detail mars his writing - too much information. Like Pat Conroy, he takes a half page to say what could be said in two sentences. After 1000 pages (first book of the trilogy and half of The Bone Tree) he's covered less than a week of the story. After awhile, you begin to skip along to keep from losing interest. His description of the area and historical facts are first rate. Worth the investment of time to read all three books of this trilogy.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Overstuffed book.
Greg Iles is a poor writer, in fact, a very bad writer. These stories need much editing and condensing, at over 800 pages per book of useless filler. I would never have gotten these book but they were recommended to me. It only takes me a about several pages to get drawn into a book and I believe there is a good story here if you can get past the writing style. I cannot. Just my opinion.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
