From the minds of New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber and
Essence(R) bestseller La Jill Hunt comes the newest entry in the
game-changing Family Business saga.
The year is 1978, the Duncan brothers and their tough-as-nails women
have vanquished their rivals and taken their place as the leaders of
Waycross, Georgia's criminal enterprises. However, their rise to power
has not gone unnoticed, and the family is rocked when their mother, Ms.
Bettie, is kidnapped and her body is found in a swamp.
No one knows who the killers are, but instead of drawing closer, the
family is split when their grief-stricken leader, LC, is offered
membership in the South's most powerful black organization, the Council.
Membership has its privileges, but they do not include his brothers. LC
packs up his growing family and moves to Atlanta to open his first car
dealership.
Unable to deal with his mother's death, Lou Duncan searches for her
killers with the help of an unlikely ally--LC's ex-fiancée. Her presence
may cost him his relationship with his brothers, but Lou is resigned to
that fact because Donna's help is instrumental in finding Ms. Bettie's
abductors. What he will soon learn is that his search for the truth will
also lead him to discover a long-buried Duncan family secret.
