The Devils PunchBowl
Book Number 3 in the Penn Cage Series.
‘The poster boy of southern gothic thrillers’ (Kirkus review) delivers a powerful and unforgettable reading experience with The Devil’s Punchbowl, and he marks the return of Penn Cage, the popular protagonist of The Quiet Game and Turning Angel. The Devil’s Punchbowl refers to a deep pit near the river in Natchez, Mississippi. Not only have outlaws dumped numerous murder victims there, but there is also a long-standing rumor that it is where Jean Lafitte buried his treasure.
