Natchez Burning by Greg Iles

Wow, just wow. Not since The Road have I gasped out loud reading a book and carried it everywhere to try to finish it, and not since The Story of Edgar Sawtelle have I never been happier to have picked up a book surely thicker than my forearm and never looked back. If you've ever spent time in the South, you know those characters could be walking amongst us and the stories they could but won't tell, that should send enough shivers up any reader's spine without reading the first chapter. My only complaint? Not all the questions were answered and I like closure, but I certainly understand why the author left things that way.
