Penn Cage has grown up in Natchez, Mississippi. He is definitely his father's son. His father is Tom Cage, a beloved doctor. Dr. Cage has been accused of killing Viola Turner, his black nurse that worked with him in the 1960's. Penn is determined to defend his father, as he is an attorney and the town's mayor.
The quest to find the answer is laden with many layers and leads Penn on a horrific journey into the mind of a real madman, who seems to decide whether your life is worth living in his mind only.

This book was layer upon layer of history. Good read.
