No.1 New York Times bestseller Greg Iles has created a thriller which is 'alarming, believable, and utterly consuming - resonates long after the final page is turned' (Dan Brown).

 Trust no-one.

 Yesterday, David Tennant was a highly respected professor with the ear of the President, working on a top secret government project. Today, he is running for his life.

 Project Trinity has the power to change life forever. Only a few hand-picked men and women know the potential of the biggest artificial intelligence study the world has ever seen. Now, one of those men is dead - and Tennant knows Dr Fielding's death wasn't at all what it seemed. Suddenly, his friend's warnings cannot be dismissed as paranoia.

 Today, David Tennant is one man against the state, and he's fast learning the only rule of survival: trust no-one. Not even yourself.

Dark Matter

L'ancien procureur et maire de Natchez, Penn Cage, et sa fiancée, la journaliste Caitlin Masters, ont bien failli périr sous la main du riche homme d'affaires Brody Royal et de ses Aigles Bicéphales, une branche radicale du Ku Klux Klan. Et le couple est loin d'être tiré d'affaire. Pour sauver son père, le Dr Tom Cage - qui fuit une accusation de meurtre et des flics corrompus bien décidés à l'abattre -, Penn n'a que deux solutions : pactiser avec le diable, Forrest Knox, qui tire les ficelles de l'organisation terroriste, ou l'abattre. A moins que la découverte faite par Caitlin d'un lieu terrifiant vieux de plus de deux siècles, utilisé par le Klan et surnommé l'Arbre aux Morts, n'ait de quoi faire tomber les Aigles Bicéphales. Après Brasier noir, Greg Iles continue d'explorer l'âme torturée de l'Amérique en livrant un homme de justice et ses proches aux pages les plus sombres de l'histoire contemporaine.

L'Arbre aux Morts

The endgame is at hand for Penn Cage, his family, and the enemies bent on destroying them in this revelatory volume in the epic trilogy set in modern-day Natchez, Mississippi—Greg Iles’s epic tale of love and honor, hatred and revenge that explores how the sins of the past continue to haunt the present.Shattered by grief and dreaming of vengeance, Penn Cage sees his family and his world collapsing around him. The woman he loves is gone, his principles have been irrevocably compromised, and his father, once a paragon of the community that Penn leads as mayor, is about to be tried for the murder of a former lover. Most terrifying of all, Dr. Cage seems bent on self-destruction. Despite Penn's experience as a prosecutor in major murder trials, his father has frozen him out of the trial preparations--preferring to risk dying in prison to revealing the truth of the crime to his son. During forty years practicing medicine, Tom Cage made himself the most respected and beloved physician in Natchez, Mississippi. But this revered Southern figure has secrets known only to himself and a handful of others. Among them, Tom has a second son, the product of an 1960s affair with his devoted African American nurse, Viola Turner. It is Viola who has been murdered, and her bitter son--Penn's half-brother--who sets in motion the murder case against his father. The resulting investigation exhumes dangerous ghosts from Mississippi's violent past. In some way that Penn cannot fathom, Viola Turner was a nexus point between his father and the Double Eagles, a savage splinter cell of the KKK. More troubling still, the long-buried secrets shared by Dr. Cage and the former Klansmen may hold the key to the most devastating assassinations of the 1960s. The surviving Double Eagles will stop at nothing to keep their past crimes buried, and with the help of some of the most influential men in the state, they seek to ensure that Dr. Cage either takes the fall for them, or takes his secrets to an early grave. Unable to trust anyone around him--not even his own mother--Penn joins forces with Serenity Butler, a famous young black author who has come to Natchez to write about his father's case. Together, Penn and Serenity battle to crack the Double Eagles and discover the secret history of the Cage family and the South itself, a desperate move that risks the only thing they have left to gamble: their lives. Mississippi Blood is the enthralling conclusion to a breathtaking trilogy seven years in the making--one that has kept readers on the edge of their seats. With piercing insight, narrative prowess, and a masterful ability to blend history and imagination, Greg Iles illuminates the brutal history of the American South in a highly atmospheric and suspenseful novel that delivers the shocking resolution his fans have eagerly awaited.

Le sang du Mississippi

Le procès du Dr Tom Cage pour le meurtre de son ancienne infirmière Viola Turner est sur le point de débuter. Penn Cage et sa famille sont sous haute surveillance afin de les protéger de la menace de Snake Knox qui s'est associé à un gang de bikers violents, les Varangian Kindred. À la veille du procès, Penn est écarté par son père de la défense orchestrée par le célèbre avocat afro-américain Quentin Avery, réputé pour ses actions lors de la période du mouvement des Droits civiques. Face à Avery, le procureur Shadrach Johnson concentre des énergies vengeresses qui paraissent biaiser d'emblée la direction du procès. Le noir passé de l'histoire américaine - et une nouvelle page, celle de la Guerre de Corée - se retrouve convoqué dans le présent et au sein même du tribunal, où Penn apprendra à découvrir davantage de ce père qu'il semble connaître si peu. Avec Le Sang du Mississippi, Greg Iles apporte une conclusion magistrale à sa trilogie romanesque.

Jordan Glass, a photojournalist on a well-earned vacation, wanders into a Hong Kong art museum and is puzzled to find fellow patrons eyeing her with curiosity. Minutes later, she stumbles upon a gallery containing a one-artist exhibition called "The Sleeping Women," a mysterious series of paintings that has caused a sensation in the world of modern art. Collectors have come to believe that the canvases depict female nudes not in sleep but in death, and they command millions at auction. When Jordan approaches the last work in the series, she freezes. The face in the painting seems to be her own.This unsettling event hurls her back into a nightmare she has fought desperately to put behind her-for, in fact, the face in the painting belongs not to Jordan but to her twin sister, murdered one year ago. At the urging of the FBI, Jordan becomes both hunter and hunted in a duel with the anonymous artist, a gifted murderer who knows the secret history of Jordan's family, and truths that even she has never had the courage to face.
