Death is the end, and if a man doesn't speak before it silences him, then his deepest secrets go with him. When a heart attack sends Penn's father, Tom Cage, to the ER, Tom begs that his son be brought to his side to hear a dying declaration. But when Penn arrives, Tom denies ever making the requestkeeping his secrets for another day. The emergency hurls Penn back to a chilling case in Houston, where he worked in a DA's office known as the "death factory," which sent more killers to death row than any other in America. While Penn cares for his ailing wife, a tormented forensic technician brings him evidence of a crime lab in chaos, throwing past convictions into doubt and begging Penn to prevent an imminent travesty of justice. With the desperation of a man fighting death in his own home, Penn must find a way to bring the machinery of the death factory to a halt.

Don‘t normally read or enjoy novellas, but as I already knew the key characters front the brilliant Penn Cage Series by Greg Iles I really enjoyed this one. I do thoroughly recommend the Penn Cage series. Greg Iles is truly a wonderful story writer. #MarchInBooks #Under200Pages

DeborahSmall @andrew65 @Reecaspieces I love him so much, I told my husband I want to go to Natchez the next time we visit the US, we drove through Mississippi on last trip to get to New Orleans so we can detour next time!! Do a bit of stalking 😂 6y
Andrew65 @DeborahSmall And So our little fan club grows. 👏 @Reecaspieces 6y
Reecaspieces @Andrew65 @DeborahSmall make sure you visit the cemetery! The turning angel is not the only landmark there. It is an amazing place! There is a tomb with stairs down..the mother would go down and read to her daughter after she died. Wicked. 6y
DeborahSmall @Reecaspieces that sounds amazing. Andrew, I‘m surprised there aren‘t more big fans. I‘ve read all of his books and when I read Natchez Burning I thought it was one of the best books I‘d read. He‘s so underrated 6y
Reecaspieces @DeborahSmall he is. This series is going to be a made for TV movie. 6y

The #shotestbookyouread of 2017 is The Death Factory by Greg Iles, 112 Pages. This lies after book 3 of the Penn. Cage series and sets up book 4 well, which is the start of the Natchez Burning Trilogy. Don‘t usually like novellas but loved this because I had read the other books. Thoroughly recommend the series. #allthebooksof2017

I don't usually like or read the Novellas within series but read this one as the library had a copy. Have to say I loved this one, which I think has set it up nicely for the next book & linked in very well with the previous book. Great emotions were exposed in this book about events around the death of Penn's wife (which happened before the first book in the series) and sone of the reasons Penn went back to Natchez other than his wife's death.

There's nothing like a mystery to distract you from reality.

Andrew65 This is so true! 7y

I've read all of the Penn Cage novels. They are long and heavy but really good. This was a nice addition where you learn a bit about Penn from earlier in his life.

This Christmas, I'm obsessed with dark mysteries of all kinds: Bloodline season 2, the Penn Cage novels, and anything Veronica Mars. Tis the season? #Falalala #nowreading 🎄🎄🎄
