The hugely anticipated new Penn Cage novel from the #1New York Timesbestselling author of the Natchez Burningtrilogy andCemetery Road, about a manand a townrocked by anarchy and tragedy, but unbowed in the fight to save those they love.
Fifteen years after the events of the Natchez Burning trilogy, Penn Cage is alone. Nearly all his loved ones are dead, his old allies gone. But Penns self-imposed exile comes to an abrupt end when a brawl at a Bienville music festival triggers a shootingone that nearly takes the life of his daughter Annie.
Before the stunned populace can process the tragedy, an arsonist begins torching antebellum plantation homes in Bienville.
When an unknown Black group claims the fires as acts of justice, panic ensues, driving the Mississippi River town to the brink of war.
When Penns closest friend in Bienville is shot to death on the street by a county deputy, mass protests ignite, and the community descends into open hostilities.
