From the internationally celebrated author of the
Original Sinners series comes a brand-new tale of betrayal,
revenge and a family scandal that bore a 150-year-old
mystery
When Cooper McQueen wakes
up from a night with a beautiful stranger, it's to discover
he's been robbed. The only item stolen—a million-dollar
bottle of bourbon. The thief, a mysterious woman named
Paris, claims the bottle is rightfully hers. After all, the
label itself says it's property of the Maddox family who
owned and operated Red Thread Bourbon distillery since the
last days of the Civil War until the company went out of
business for reasons no one knows… No one except
Paris.
In the small hours of a Louisville
morning, Paris unspools the lurid tale of Tamara Maddox,
heiress to the distillery that became an empire. But the
family tree is rooted in tainted soil and has borne rotten
fruit. Theirs is a legacy of wealth and power, but also of
lies, secrets and sins of omission. The Maddoxes have
bourbon in their blood—and blood in their bourbon. Why Paris
wants the bottle of Red Thread remains a secret until the
truth of her identity is at last revealed, and the
century-old vengeance Tamara vowed against her family can
finally be completed.
