The Quiet Game - Poche

He seeks justice in a town where a thirty-year-old crime lies buried - and where everyone plays the quiet game... Penn Cage is no stranger to death. As a Houston prosecutor he sent sixteen men to death row. Now, in the aftermath of the death of his young wife, he decides to return to his home town of Natchez, Mississippi - the jewel of the antebellum South - with his only daughter. But any hopes of the quiet life are dashed when he finds that his father is being blackmailed over a long-forgotten murder by the killer that he never turned in and Penn is soon up to his neck in Natchez's dark underbelly of passion, power and racial tension. It is only then that he realises that what happened that summer long ago was something far bigger than he could have possibly imagined. Penn joins forces with Caitlin Masters, a beautiful young newspaper journalist, on a quest that will lead from the bayous of the South to the highest reaches of the U.S. Government... "Start with an irresistible plot, add a heavy dose of historical intrigue, mix a host of shadowy characters, just a dash of terror on every page... and you have Spandau Phoenix, a scorching read" John Grisham
