A Southern dynasty built on wealth, secrets, and spectacular bad decisions-what could possibly go wrong? When the Trapnell family gathers at their ancestral estate of White Oaks, trouble is never far behind. Schemes as outrageous as forging priceless art, building a Titanic-themed escape room, or buying a private island are just another Tuesday in this clan of eccentrics. But beneath the polished veneer of old money and social status lies a swamp of deceit, greed, and danger-one that threatens to pull them all under. Darkly comic and deliciously twisted, Black Willows blends Southern Gothic atmosphere with razor-sharp wit and high-stakes drama. Fans of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, and dysfunctional family sagas will find themselves laughing, gasping, and compulsively turning the pages. Step into the world of the Trapnells-where ambition is deadly, loyalty is questionable, and nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
