New York Times bestselling author John Glatt's unputdownable account of the rise and fall of the prestigious Murdaugh family.

In South Carolina, the Murdaugh name means power. But when attorney Alex Murdaugh discovered the bodies of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, on June 7th, 2021, the family was thrust into the national spotlight. The mystery deepened months later when Alex himself was discovered shot in the head on a roadside.

But as authorities scrambled for clues, dark secrets about this Southern legal dynasty came to light. The Murdaughs wouldn't hesitate to wield their influence to protect one of their own. As bombshells of financial fraud were revealed and more suspicious deaths were linked to the Murdaughs, a new portrait of Alex Murdaugh emerged: a desperate man on the brink of ruin who would do anything, even murder his wife and son, to save his family's reputation.
