Southern Man by Greg Iles – Hardcover
This book is beautifully printed on deckle-edge paper, adding a touch of vintage charm and elegance to your reading experience.
Prepare to be gripped by the masterful storytelling of Greg Iles, hailed as "one of America’s great storytellers" by Stephen King. Southern Man, an electrifying continuation of the Penn Cage saga, dives deep into the heart of a divided America, delivering a tale that is as timely as it is thrilling.
Fifteen years after the harrowing events of the Natchez Burning trilogy, Penn Cage is a man haunted by loss, solitude, and a secret that isolates him from the world. But his quiet exile shatters when a deadly shooting at a Mississippi rap festival leaves his daughter, Annie, narrowly escaping death. The attack ignites a series of events that sets the Deep South ablaze, both literally and figuratively, as tensions erupt into chaos.
As plantation homes burn and a radical group claims the attacks as acts of historic justice, panic grips the region. Against this turbulent backdrop emerges Bobby White, a charismatic war hero turned unlikely Presidential candidate. Funded by a reclusive billionaire and dubbed “The TikTok Man,” White’s rise threatens to reshape the political landscape—and push the country to the brink of civil war.
With time running out, Penn teams up with Annie, now a fierce civil rights lawyer, and an ex-Black Panther with a tragic past to unravel White’s sinister ambitions. Together, they risk everything to expose a conspiracy that could destroy the fragile threads holding America together.
Set against a backdrop of racial tension, political intrigue, and unrelenting suspense, Southern Man captures the pulse of a nation on the edge. Greg Iles weaves a tale that is both a searing political thriller and a powerful exploration of justice, legacy, and the fight for what truly matters.
For fans of high-stakes drama and deeply resonant storytelling, this is a novel that will leave you breathless long after you turn the final page.
