I hadn’t read \”the king of southern gothic\” before so can’t compare this with Iles’ previous novels but quickly was drawn in to the violent world and racism of early 1960s Mississippi in a page-turning thriller set in the author’s place of residence, Natchez. Former prosecuting attorney Penn Cage returns, but this time as mayor of Natchez. His beloved father, a well-respected doctor, is accused of murdering his former nurse. In a search for the truth, Penn must choose between his father or official justice, against a backdrop of a KKK extreme splinter group, crooked public officials and a couple of very famous political assassinations. The bad guys drip evil and the rather inconclusive ending has disappointed some readers but this is only part of a planned trilogy. A searing yarn.
