The Blackwood Rot

In the gated Georgia town of Blackwood, the powerful police dynasty of the Holloway family fractures when patriarch Judge Elijah Holloway’s will leaves everything to an unknown woman. True-crime writer Mira Voss is drawn into the case, expecting a story of inheritance greed. Instead, she unearths a curse that has slumbered beneath the family’s oak-lined estate for sixty years—a chain of disappearances, covered-up shootings, and sacrifices made to protect the bloodline. As Mira follows the spiral, the psychological maze of generational sin becomes far deadlier than any prison cell, and she discovers that the hunter of truth was never truly separate from the prey.
