Description

For decades the blood-steeped Burroughs clan ruled Bull Mountain, Georgia. They ran moonshine across borderlines, farmed marijuana and supplied meth across six states. Now they're gone, leaving Clayton the only good son born of a crooked tree the last surviving member. As sheriff of Bull Mountain, Clayton wants to bury his brutal family legacy and call time on the savage feuds that built the Burroughs empire. But predators are moving in, wanting to re-establish the flow of drugs and cash through the town. And the death of a boy belonging to a rival clan brings the wolves straight to Clayton's door. To save his mountain, and his family, Clayton must choose between the past he can't escape and the law...
