The Bone Tree
Description
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 fiancée, 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.
