The Hangman's Blind: A Dark Southern Thriller of Family Secrets, Betrayal, and Deception - Paperback

When Archie McClure bought Belle Oak, nobody wanted it. Now, everyone wants it.

He turned Belle Oak into five thousand acres of the finest rice ground in Arkansas and the best duck woods in the country.

But Belle Oak is in trouble. Archie's grandsons, Little George, J.D., and Trip own McClure Tug and Tow, a once thriving, now failing, barge company on the Mississippi. Trip's brothers want to sell Belle Oak to save the barge company, but he won't hear of it. All he cares about is hunting in the flooded timber with Cash, his black lab.

Ceila McClure, the boys' mother, is caught in the middle, recently widowed when her husband took his own life. She's the only one who knows why he did it, except for the blackmailer.

When Little George and J.D. put Belle Oak up for sale, Trip takes matters in his own hands. His plan to keep Belle Oak spins out of control, and he makes a Faustian bargain to save it.

The flooded timber is full of lies and treachery. The deal goes bad. His mother's secret is expensive, and someone is trying to kill Trip.

Can he find a way out?
