never dreamed I would bury my own son. Nor could I have imagined that I would betray the
childhood friend who saved my life or win a Pulitzer Prize for telling a lie. All these things
I have done yet most people I know would call me an honorable man. I wouldn't go that far . .
.? So begins Cemetery Road Greg Iles's most captivating and propulsive novel to date. Marshall

salvation to this community on the brink of extinction in the form of a billion-dollar Chinese
paper mill. But on the verge of the deal's consummation two deaths rock Bienville to its core
threatening far more than the city's economic future. Joining forces with his former
lover?whose husband stands to inherit a seat in the Poker Club?Marshall begins digging for the
truth. But he and Jet soon discover that the soil of Mississippi is a minefield where explosive
secrets can be far more destructive than injustice. By the time Marshall grasps the long-buried

face it. Cemetery Road is an unforgettable story of greed and desire jealousy and murder
forgiveness and damnation?and it proves once again that Greg Iles is one of our modern masters
