Moonshine & Blood - Paperback

A raw and gritty tale of revenge, family, and corruption in the shadowed hollows of 1923 Missouri.

​

In the misty depths of the Ozark Highlands, where ancient caves hide more than just moonshine stills, decorated WWI veteran Jesse Walker returns home to find his family's farm threatened by forces far more dangerous than the banks. As outside interests turn their gaze toward the lucrative bootlegging trade, Jesse discovers that the soil of his homeland is being poisoned by corruption, greed, and betrayal.

With his fierce sister Mary fighting to keep their farm alive and his cousin Luke embedded in the local legal system, Jesse builds an unlikely alliance with a shell-shocked fellow veteran and an eccentric old moonshiner who knows far too many secrets. But in these hills, trust is as rare as straight whiskey, and family ties can either bind or strangle.

​

Set against the backdrop of Prohibition-era Missouri, where mountain justice meets ruthless ambition, "Moonshine & Blood" tells a story of loyalty tested, debts paid in lead, and the true price of protecting what's yours. As Jesse peels back layers of corruption in his hometown, he learns that some devils wear suits, others wear badges, and blood runs thicker than the finest mountain spirit.

Moonshine & Blood is a powerful blend of historical thriller and crime drama that will leave readers thirsting for more, where every shadow holds a secret and redemption comes at a terrible cost.
