“One of America’s greatest storytellers” (Stephen King) and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Southern Man and the Natchez Burning trilogy returns to his roots in this breathtaking novel of murder and redemption set in New Orleans and Natchez, Mississippi.

Some memories live deep in the soul, indelible and dangerous, waiting to be resurrected…

Forensic expert “Cat” Ferry is suspended from an FBI task force when she is inexplicably stricken with panic attacks and blackouts while investigating a chain of brutal murders. Returning to her Mississippi hometown, Cat finds herself battling with alcohol, plagued by nightmares, and entangled with a married detective. Then, in her childhood bedroom, some spilled chemicals reveal two bloody footprints…and the trauma of her father’s murder years earlier comes flooding back. Facing the secrets of her past, Cat races to connect them to a killer’s present-day violence. But what emerges is the frightening possibility that Cat herself has blood on her hands…

“As Southern Gothic as it gets” (Kirkus Reviews), Greg Iles’s Blood Memory “will have readers turning pages at a breakneck pace” (New Orleans Times-Picayune).
