Snake and Sonny left Tom to die at the Bone Tree. He was in a diabetic coma when Caitlin was left there. Caitlin and Jordan were looking for the Bone Tree and had a map, Jordan had to return to New Orleans but Caitlin stayed behind to meet Terry. While waiting Caitlin is approached by a young black man (Harold) at the gas station where she is meeting Terry (one of her newspaper employees), Harold offers to take her to the Bone Tree for money. She goes with him but leaves Terry behind to man the phones. Because the man was black Caitlin never dreamed he was working for Forrest. When they get to the Bone Tree Harold shoots her in the heart. A dying Caitlin finds an unconscious Tom Cage, inside the Bone Tree. Caitlin gives Tom the last peppermint in her purse and revives him. A handcuffed Tom tells Caitlin how to use the multi-tool and the tube from a pen to relieve the pressure on her heart. A desperate Caitlin performs surgery on herself and succeeds in relieving the pressure. Tom then goes back into a diabetic coma. The tube becomes clogged and a weakened Caitlin tries desperately to clear it but passes out before she can. Penn Cage arrives moments to late.
Ozan killed Harold so he couldn't tell he was hired by Forrest.

I just reread Bone Tree before starting Mississippi Blood. Dr. Cage got there after Snake Knox snatched him away from Forrest, after Forrest had him kidnapped. Caitlin went there looking for the document that proved the tie between Frank Knox and Oswald. A young black man offered to take her back into the swamp after her and Jordan had to come out. The young man shot her, then he was killed by Ozan.

i don't remember all of the details, but the Bone Tree was a place that the double eagles and KKK killed black people over the years. Caitlin heard there would be evidence there (I think of Jimmy Revels murder) so she was asking around on how to get there. I don't remember why Tom was there though, sorry.
