Kin and Clan (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780998544755)

When Paul Crutcher's father dies and his wife, Jennifer, finds a PRIVATE PAPERS envelope in his mother's belongings, the fledgling author resists all temptations to see what secrets are hidden inside. Eventually, curiosity kills the cat, and he can't help himself from tearing open his past.

Paul's shocking discovery takes him on an "Origin Journey" to the Deep South. He meets a pair of brothers he never knew existed, who drag him into an underworld of intrigue and danger. Jennifer senses that Paul is in trouble and hurries to bail him out.

A mysterious stranger saves Paul and Jennifer from certain death, but is this hulking brute indeed a knight in shining armor? Who is the man with the sword, and what are his true intentions?

When the final page turns, will Paul hate himself for opening Pandora's box?
