Si legge tutto d'un fiato. Un ottimo thriller. Attenzione perchè ci sono alcune scene molto forti che potrebbero disturbare. ( )

I'm a huge fan of Greg Iles and I loved this one. It's not for the faint of heart as there is some graphic violence--in fact the whole premise of the book is mostly violence. But he just writes so darn well and the books are smart. I did feel there were just a few minor flaws in this one though.

Absolutely fabulous! First time I've read any work by this author and I am very impressed. Suspenseful and well-written, Iles pulls you into the story and doesn't let you go. I am looking forward to reading some of his other work. ( )

Start to finish, I couldn't put this book down. It's a flurry of action. Although the subject matter made me a little ill and I just skimmed the details of the dog fighting, for me, it was another unputdownable book from Mr. Iles. ( )

The latest in the Penn Cage series is so well done that it pulled me in effortlessly. Amazing job - and characters so real you feel like you know them. ( )

Book description
Penn Cage liet vroeger als advocaat in Houston door de wol geverfde criminelen ter dood veroordelen. Maar dat was nog niets: Als burgermeester van Natchez moet hij nu de stad proberen te redden uit de klauwen van de gokmaffia. Penn staat er alleen voor als blijkt dat het college van B&W als één man is gevallen voor de verlokkingen van het snelle geld verdienen. Niet alleen Penn's eigen leven maar ook dat van zijn geliefden verkeert in groot gevaar wanneer hij besluit toch het juiste te doen...
Haiku summary

No descriptions found.

Lawyer Penn Cage goes up against a mix of murder, racial tension, double-crosses, illicit sex...and all of the ensuing violent consequences in the kudzu-strangled, snake- rat- and armadillo-infested hole of the Devil's Punchbowl.
