Greg Iles: Master Suspense Artist

Those of you not familiar with Greg Iles from Natchez, Mississippi should read his latest thrillers, True Evil, Blood Memory, The Quiet Game, and Turning Angel. His latest thriller, True Evil makes murder look easy compared to divorce, especially if you stand to lose millions in divorce court compared to only an easy five million to knock off your spouse so it looks like a slow death caused by a deadly retrovirus. Evil people with depraved minds do evil things, especially when forced to part with their money.
