Turning Angel Iles, Greg

Drew Elliott is a small-town doctor in Natchez, Mississippi, living a quiet, respectable life — until a seventeen-year-old student is found dead, and the evidence points straight at him. She was his patient. She was his friend's daughter. And now the whole town believes she was his lover. Penn Cage, his old friend and the city's prosecutor, wants to believe Drew is innocent. But as he digs deeper, the secrets multiply — blackmail, affairs, digital trails that don't add up. Greg Iles writes Southern legal thrillers that feel like they're unraveling in real time, where loyalty and morality collide in a town where everyone knows everyone. The pacing is relentless, the moral questions murky. If you liked *The Firm* or need something darker than Grisham, this delivers.
