Publisher's Summary

When former prosecutor Penn Cage returns to his hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, he doesn't find the peace he desperately craves. He finds that his own father is being blackmailed by a corrupt ex-cop. And when Penn investigates, he uncovers a murderous secret - and the small town's violent past.

What the critics say

"The pace is frenetic, the fear and paranoia palpable, and the characters heartbreakingly honest. Iles strikes not one false note.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

“Would make James Lee Burke or even Pat Conroy proud. This is storytelling at its absolute best, a tale of near-epic status.” (Providence Sunday Journal)

“A superb legal-conspiracy thriller that brings the deep South to life…an enthralling tale.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Every woman is described by sexuality

Great book but .... why is every female character described or evaluated by her appearance, her breasts, her ass, her weight? Is that all this author values in the women?

Wow

First this was the first book written by Greg Iles I have listened to or read.
Second first time hearing Tom Stechschulte narrate.

Greg was a great change of genre from the romance books I have been listening to lately. I believe I will listen to more of his writings, as I was very much drawn into his story. I hope the rest of his books will draw me in as well. Greg is an excellent writer.

Tom’s narration in this book was very very good. His male voice is quite soothing and a little bit sexy. Although he can work on his female voices. But keep in mind not everyone can do both sexes of voices. This did not hinder any of his narrating in this book, I enjoyed his narration completely.

The quiet game is definitely worth the listen. I would recommend this to anyone. As a mystery I was never sure what direction it was going in, which is amazing to me. As I’m pretty good at guessing the ‘Who did it.’

In my opinion you will not be disappointed in this novel. Not in the plot nor the narration.

Rollercoaster in every chapter. it's written beautifully and narrator is super amazing. I am a very picky reader. I get bored easily but this book amazed me! xx

Intriguing through and through

This book has my attention from beginning to end. With twists and turns, I wasn’t sure where it would end up. I will definitely recommend this book.

Loved it!!

Just read Cemetery Road and I decided to try some more of his work. This book, at times, felt reminiscent of Cemetery Road, but it made its own way toward the end. Very enjoyable read. Heading to the next Penn Cage right away!
