Fruit of the Toxic Tree

By Bill Hooper

An ambitious local politician. A thriving small-business owner. A rock singer on the rise.
Three siblings with nothing in common except blood - and the fact that someone is determined to destroy their lives.
What begins as scattered incidents quickly escalates into targeted violence. Clues point backward, toward a past the family thought was buried. Desperate for answers, the youngest sibling turns to their mother's long-forgotten diary, only to uncover revelations that shake their faith and raise even more questions.
When the police prove unwilling or unable to help, the siblings take matters into their own hands. With hired security at their side, they begin unraveling a conspiracy that threatens their livelihoods, their sanity, and the legacy they've spent their lives protecting.
Fruit of the Toxic Tree is a gritty, fast-moving journey through the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina - a story steeped in legacy, resilience, and the hard-won growth of unforgettable characters. Blurring the lines between thriller and political intrigue, it follows Hannah, Jack, and Kat as they fight back against a hidden enemy determined to see them fall.
