From New York Times bestselling author Greg Iles comes an electrifying thriller set in a Southern town rife with depravity and corruption. Penn Cage, a former prosecuting attorney and now the mayor of Natchez, Mississippi, faces a dangerous challenge as he attempts to restore his hometown. In its pursuit of economic revival, Natchez has embraced casino gambling, leading to the emergence of extravagant steamboats, including the notorious Magnolia Queen, which attracts high-stakes players from Las Vegas. When a childhood friend presents evidence of criminal activities and is brutally murdered, Penn realizes the extent of his failure to protect his city. This ignites his quest for justice, but he finds himself alone against a local authority compromised by money and power. With his family's safety at risk, Penn turns to a small circle of allies: Caitlin Masters, his lost love; Danny McDavitt, a heroic helicopter pilot; and Walt Garrity, a retired Texas Ranger. Together, they must confront a cunning killer who seems to anticipate their every move. Ultimately, victory requires a bold sacrifice that will change Natchez forever. Rich in Southern atmosphere and filled with unexpected twists, this gripping tale showcases Iles's mastery of suspense.
