His first novel, Spandau Phoenix, a thriller about Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess, was published in 1992 and became a New York Times bestseller. He spent his youth in Natchez, Mississippi, and graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1983. Novelist Greg Iles was born in Germany, where his father ran the US Embassy Medical Clinic during the height of the Cold War. And knowing that Stephen King endorsed the work of Greg Iles is good enough reason for me to not waste any more time. This author has been recommended to me by my husband. This book review marks my first tryst with the literary works of Greg Iles. Given my dismal start to the year, it would be nothing short of a miracle if I can catch up but I sure am going to try 😊 And since I've decided to keep up with reading, I will be more prudent in the books I review on the blog, winnowing down to those I deem worthy of discussion. Now I've started to feel that my previous 15 books a year target seems lazy and 50 (that earlier seemed impossible) might be doable if I stick to fiction.
I have been sticking to my resolution of making reading a priority and I am surprised by the negligible effort it has taken. Negotiating the town's undercurrents of greed, corruption, and racial tension, Penn uncovers a powerful secret that reaches to the highest levels of government.Īnd as the town closes ranks, Penn realises that his crusade for justice has taken a dangerous turn- one which could cost him his life.I am back with another book review. Returning to his home town, former prosecuting attorney Penn Cage is stunned to discover that his father is being blackmailed over a decades-old murder. A place where a thirty-year-old crime lies buried, and everyone plays the quiet game. 'An engrossing, page-turning ride' (Jeffery Deaver). The first thriller in the New York Times No.1 bestselling series featuring Penn Cage: a prosecutor in a corrupt system, a husband whose wife has died, and a father who must protect his daughter.
