Two murders. One Town. And a lifetime of secrets.

`Pure reading pleasure' Stephen King

The No.1 New York Times bestselling author of the Natchez Burning trilogy returns with an electrifying standalone. A tale of friendship, betrayal, and shattering secrets that threaten to destroy a small Mississippi town.

Some things should never be uncovered...

When successful journalist Marshall McEwan discovers that his father is terminally ill, he returns to his childhood home in Bienville, Mississippi - a place he vowed to leave behind forever.

His family's newspaper is failing; and Jet Turner, the love of his youth, has married into the family of Max Matheson, one of the powerful patriarchs who rule the town through the exclusive Poker Club.

Bienville is on the brink of economic salvation, in the form of a billion-dollar Chinese paper mill. But as the deal nears completion, two murders rock the town to its core, threatening far more than the city's economic future.

Marshall and Jet soon discover a minefield of explosive secrets beneath the soil of Mississippi. And by the time Marshall grasps the long-buried truth about his own history - and the woman he loves - he would give almost anything not to face it.

Industry Reviews

'Pure reading pleasure. This guy knows the deep south as well or better than any other novelist' Stephen King

'An ambitious stand-alone thriller that is both an absorbing crime story and an in-depth exploration of grief, betrayal and corruption ... Iles's latest calls to mind the late, great Southern novelist Pat Conroy. Like Conroy, Iles writes with passion, intensity and absolute commitment' Washington Post

Praise for Mississippi Blood:

'Exceptional ... literary crime fiction at its finest - fluent, intelligent, high-octane and yet with deep moral purpose ... Unputdownable' The Times

'A cracking courtroom drama ... a compelling read' Sun

'Epic ... operatic in its reach ... with courtroom drama that is far more blistering than the John Grisham variety' Financial Times

"The thriller of the year, of the decade even' The Times

'Iles is a phenomenal thriller writer' Independent on Sunday

'My favourite kind of novel ... Ambitious in its scope and superbly satisfying in its execution' Dan Brown
