The South has always been steeped in mystery. Gunshots from duels fought for family honor still echo from the distant past. The same gray Spanish moss that swayed on moonlit nights throughout plantation grounds still move eerily on coastal breezes. It is in this fabled low country of South Carolina that the ever-changing tidal plain has begun to give up its secrets. A once powerful legal dynasty that covered five counties and spread throughout more like the deadly tendrils of the invasive kudzo vine was beginning to wither. It took the death of a beautiful 19-year-old girl named Mallory Beach to show the dark underbelly of a juggernaut family named Murdaugh. Here is the incredible saga of five mysterious deaths, a score of insurance fraud cases that devasted countless families, drug running, and possible dealings in sex trafficking. It is almost impossible to believe. Yet the shots that rang out on a rainy summer evening on the sprawling Moselle hunting property took not only the lives of the wife and son of Alex Murdaugh but were the percussions for justice that finally demanded answers on other deaths that had been buried beneath the subterfuge. Packed with photos, exclusive interviews, maps and trial transcripts, this is a comprehensive telling of the evidence, theories, victims and key players in this international thriller born of fact. Dedicated to Stephen Smith, Gloria Satterfield, Mallory Beach, Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, and those who would not give up until Goliath had fallen. Rebecca F.
