The Murdaugh murder case captivated true crime junkies for months. Journalist Jason Ryan, who knows the quirks and characters in coastal South Carolina crime, has provided a fascinating journey into the dynasty that drew international headlines. He knows that "power" in the rural South isn't the same as "power" in gangland Chicago. Here, favor and friendship are valued currency -- something that lots of journalists covering the murder trial and financial shenanigans of Alec Murdaugh missed. If you want to know where the family came from and what coastal South Carolina is really like, this is the book to read.
