Commentary To Books The Death Factory (Penn Cage #3.5)

Between 1999 and 2009, Greg Iles wrote three very good books featuring Penn Cage, a former assistant D.A. in Houston who returned home to his native Natchez, Mississippi and who ultimately became the city's mayor. Now, on the eve of the release of the new Penn Cage novel, Natchez Burning, Iles has written this brief novella which fills in some of the back story surrounding Cage's return to Mississippi.

As the story opens, Cage's father, a Natchez physician, has suffered a heart attack and may not live. He has called Cage to his bedside from Houston for the purpose of telling him some dark secret that he apparently needs to get off his chest before he dies. However, by the time the younger Cage arrives, his father has rallied and now insists that he has no recollection of asking Penn to come. He also claims that he has no secret to share.

Other family members rally to the bedside, including Penn Cage's uncle. They go for a ride, which gives Penn the opportunity to tell a long story about the events that caused him to leave the D.A.'s office and return home. It's an interesting tale, involving the infamous "Death Factory," in the Houston D.A.'s office that sent large numbers of alleged killers to death row on the basis of evidence, some of which may have been tainted.

This is a novella that will appeal principally to fans of the series of which there are a great number, and it may not be that interesting to people who have not yet discovered this series. It is a very good one, but people approaching it for the first time would be much better advised to begin with The Quiet Game and then get to this novella in the natural order of things.

Weigh Up Containing Books The Death Factory (Penn Cage #3.5)
The Death Factory by Greg Isles in a 2014 William Morrow Impulse publication. This novella bridges the gap between The Devil's Punchbowl and Natchez Burning. There was a long gap between the novels and Punchbowl ended with a cliffhanger. So, this novella brings the reader up to date before diving into Natchez Burning, and it reminds us of Penn's past, and events that shaped him into the man he has become. As Punchbowl ended, Penn had just become engaged to his long time girlfriend, but before he

At fewer than 100 pages, this can only be a teaser for the next full-blown novel, but it both reviews important history in the series and introduces new material. Looking forward to the next Penn Cage story!

Ever since I read "Natchez Burning" by Greg Iles I've been hooked on the Penn Cage series. I went back to the beginning and started reading them all in order, which brings me to this book, "The Death Factory". Listed as Penn Cage #3.5 (who does that?) it's a novella which fills in some back story of the period when his wife died, wrapped up in a quasi-mystery flashback to Cage's time as a DA in Houston, Texas. I'm not sure why Iles felt it necessary to plop this down as a separate book in the

I am glad to see GI writing again after his accident and his writing hasn't suffered in the least. Love anytime I can get me some Penn Cage. This is a small prequel to his next book

A novella filling in between the author's previous book, The Devil's Punchbowl and the next, Natchez Burning.A bit of a catch up with Penn Cage since his last adventure. His father has a heart attack and fearing death as asked for Penn as he needs to tell him a secret.But when Penn arrives at the hospital, his father denies ever saying that.Most of the story is really about a case Penn had worked on years before when he lived in Texas and how it has always remained in his mind.He talks about his

I didnt realize this was #3.5 in the Penn Cage series, otherwise I would have read it in order. Was just a little weird going back and reading a super short story after reading the whole Penn Cage journey, but still good.

You may remember me raving about Greg Iles' new book Natchez Burning - the first in a planned trilogy. I only discovered after reading the book that Iles had penned an 'in-between' Penn Cage novella called The Death Factory that is set just before the beginning of Natchez Burning. Before returning to Natchez, Penn worked in a DA's office that became known as The Death Factory - that office sent more people to death row than any other. But when an evidence tech still working there becomes
