Review:
Best-selling author Iles superbly blends past and present in his swift and riveting story line. --Library Journal (starred review)"
Richly plotted [and] the action-packed narrative moves swiftly to a surprising and moving conclusion. --Publishers Weekly"
The second installment of his hard-boiled Natchez trilogy finds Iles hero Penn Cage on even swampier, and surely deadlier, ground than before. --Kirkus Reviews"
Absolutely compelling A beautifully constructed story, some extremely fine writing, and some hard-to-bear tragedy. Everything is big about this one: its epic scale [and] its built-in readership based on the success of its predecessor. --Booklist (starred review)"
Race relations, adultery, murder, parenthood and friendship are all smashed together to form a searing saga of remorse and revenge. . . . Better than Natchez Burning. If the third book surpasses the first two then Iles will be elevated to the highest heights of famed storytellers. --Huffington Post"
Great Expectations transplanted to an American South laced with comparably gothic overtones. . . . Establishes Iles as this generation s William Faulkner, usurping Pat Conroy as our preeminent Southern writer and potentially establishing him as this era s finest American novelist, thanks to this moving and meaningful masterpiece of storytelling. --Providence Journal"
Filled with menace, betrayal, [and] unexpected plot twists. . . . Running through this vast enterprise is the implicit belief that crime fiction is capable of addressing - and illuminating - any aspect of human behavior, including the tragic history of race relations in 20th-century America. --Washington Post"

Penn Cage is caught in the darkest maelstrom of his life. The death of his father's African-American nurse has fractured his family and turned Dr. Tom Cage into a fugitive. Penn has inadvertently started a war with an offshoot of the KKK, and Penn's fiancee, journalist Caitlin Masters, is chasing the biggest story of her career.
Both Caitlin and federal authorities believe Tom can lead them to evidence of America's most shameful history, a time when men committed race murders to conceal a conspiracy involving the Mafia, the Double Eagles, and the assassination of JFK. In the end, all roads lead to the Bone Tree, a legendary killing site that may conceal far more than the remains of the forgotten.
Enthralling and engrossing, The Bone Tree is a masterpiece of modern suspense and the next novel in the monumental trilogy that Greg Iles was born to write.
