Southern Man: A Political Thriller from the Natchez Burning Series (Penn Cage Book 7)

Southern Man by Greg Iles is a gripping political thriller and the final installment in the Penn Cage saga. Fifteen years after the Natchez Burning trilogy, Penn lives in isolation, burdened by loss and a haunting secret. When a mass shooting at a Mississippi music festival nearly kills his daughter Annie, racial violence erupts across the South. As chaos spreads, charismatic war hero Robert E. Lee White—backed by a billionaire—launches a shocking third-party presidential campaign that threatens to push America toward civil war.

With his daughter and a former Black Panther, Penn races to uncover the truth behind White’s rise and prevent the nation from collapsing into fascism. Powerful, timely, and explosive, Southern Man explores race, politics, and the fragile soul of modern America.
