Description

INTRODUCING PENN CAGE...

From the author of Cemetery Road comes the first intelligent, gripping thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling Penn Cage series. 


Natchez, Mississippi. Jewel of the South. City of old money and older sins. And childhood home of Houston prosecutor Penn Cage. 

In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, this is where Penn has returned for solitude. This is where he hopes to find peace. What he discovers instead is his own family trapped in a mystery buried for thirty years but never forgotten—the town’s darkest secret, now set to trap and destroy Penn as well.

    It is dated, overly long, and the actions of the characters leave one shaking their head and asking why? Was it worth it? Was there another way to go about getting justice? Was it worth the cost of human life? And ultimately, were the actions taken even logical? The nos outweigh the yeses. Am I glad I bought this book and invested my time in reading it? Probably not.

    I read two to three books a week, most of them are quite good. I have never read this author before. However, he really knows how to surprise you in each new chapter. This one of the best books I have ever read.

    I want to start off by saying that my husband told me to check theses books out awhile ago. I can’t believe that it took me so long to start reading this book. I am so glad that I finally did. And can’t wait to continue reading theses books. Highly recommend this book. The narrator did amazing job keeping me wanting to know more. About Book Penn Cage just lost his wife and to take care of his daughter alone. He decides to leave Houston to move back to his home town Natchez Mississippi. To have help from his family. But when Penn returns things that were left unsolved. Penn wants to know more about and things and people end up hurt. Again I highly recommend this book. Will be starting book two soon.

    In today’s (2019) America of political corruption, it is easy to understand this story’s highlights of the corruption of power in the past. The Quiet Game is a fast paced, hard-to-put down book. Well written. I’m a big fan of Greg Iles.
