Tracking his father through Natchez and beyond, Penn is targeted by criminals and corrupt police whose power reaches the top levels of state government - people who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from coming out. To clear Toms name, Penn must either make a deal with the devil or destroy him. But there are others pursuing a different mission - one which will lead them to the Bone Tree, a legendary killing site that conceals far more than the remains of the dead.
