Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles brings the secrets of the South alive in this vibrant novel of infatuation, murder, and sexual intrigue set in his hometown of Natchez, Mississippi., "Turning Angel" marks the long-awaited return of Penn Cage, the lawyer hero of "The Quiet Game," and introduces Drew Elliott, the highly respected doctor who saved Penn's life in a hiking accident when they were boys. As two of the most prominent citizens of Natchez, Drew and Penn sit on the school board of their alma mater, St. Stephen's Prep. When the nude body of a young female student is found near the Mississippi River, the entire community is shocked -- but no one more than Penn, who discovers that his best friend was entangled in a passionate relationship with the girl and may be accused of her murder. On the surface, Kate Townsend seems the most unlikely murder victim imaginable. A star student and athlete, she'd been accepted to Harvard and carried the hope and pride of the town on her shoulders. But like her school and her town, Kate also had a secret life -- one about which her adult lover knew little. When Drew begs Penn to defend him, Penn allows his sense of obligation to override his instinct and agrees. Yet before he can begin, both men are drawn into a dangerous web of blackmail and violence. Drew reacts like anything but an innocent man, and Penn finds himself doubting his friend's motives and searching for a path out of harm's way. More dangerous yet is Shad Johnson, the black district attorney whose dream is to send a rich white man to death row in Mississippi. At Shad's order, Drew is jailed, the police cease hunting Kate's killer, and Penn realizes that only by finding Kate's murderer himself can he save his friend's life. With his daughter's babysitter as his guide, Penn penetrates the secret world of St. Stephen's, a place that parents never see, wherereality veers so radically from appearance that Penn risks losing his own moral compass. St. Stephen's is a dark mirror of the adult world, one populated by steroid-crazed jocks, girls desperate for attention, jaded teens flirting with nihilism, and hidden among them all -- one true psychopath. It is Penn's journey into the heart of his alma mater that gives "Turning Angel" its hypnotic power, for on that journey he finds that the intersection of the adult and nearly adult worlds is a dangerous place indeed. By the time Penn arrives at the shattering truth behind Kate Townsend's death, his quiet Southern town will never be the same., "New York Times" bestselling author Greg Iles brings the secrets of the South alive in this vibrant novel of infatuation, murder, and sexual intrigue set in his hometown of Natchez, Mississippi., Turning Angel marks the long-awaited return of Penn Cage, the lawyer hero of The Quiet Game, and introduces Drew Elliott, the highly respected doctor who saved Penn's life in a hiking accident when they were boys.

By the time Penn arrives at the shattering truth behind Kate Townsend's death, his quiet Southern town will never be the same., Another parboiled offering from the poster boy of southern gothic thrillers (Blood Memory, 2005, etc.). Natchez, Miss., a town that has seen rosier days, is about to get kicked while it's down. Kate Townsend, shining light of her senior class--valedictorian, gorgeous, a double state champion (tennis and swimming) with a full scholarship to Harvard--has drowned. Her death is being linked to a pillar of the community, the estimable, beloved Dr. Drew Elliot, a husband and father who is 23 years Kate's senior. Among the locals most seriously affected is upright, unselfish Penn Cage, Drew's lifelong friend. A former prosecutor now considering a run for mayor, he's asked to represent Drew, who confesses to an affair with Kate, which will surely place him in the vanguard of suspects if her death turns out to be foul play. Penn is shaken and thinks fleetingly of distancing himself from a situation that is certainly messy and potentially ruinous. He knows Natchez, and he knows how quickly its citizens can turn if they feel betrayed. Drew, however, is loyal, and a good guy's got to do what a good guy's got to do. As Penn pursues an investigation on Drew's behalf, he discovers things about his friend, about Kate, about his town and about himself that will darken his view of civic responsibility. Lively scenes pop up here and there, but 500-plus pages will transmogrify most thrillers into a relentless march of predictable events. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

    Item as described but dirtier than expected. Cleaned up somewhat but all in all it was as described. The shipping was high considering it arrived in a "padded" envelope without any consideration of how USPS throws around packages and the edges of the Bible were further damaged than they should have been which was disappointing.
