In the Deep South, twelve men rule everything a shadow empire of senators, judges, fixers, and killers known only as The Southern Syndicate. For decades, they've handpicked Presidents, buried journalists, and erased whistleblowers without leaving a trace.
Until now.
When disgraced journalist Beckett Crane receives a coded message from his estranged father, he uncovers a blood-soaked family secret: his own name is etched into the Syndicate's power structure.
Now Beckett is being hunted:
From moss-draped plantations to fortified bunkers
Through black money pipelines and courtroom payoffs
By assassins who kill to keep the Syndicate's secrets
Every truth he exposes makes him a target. Every move is tracked. Every bullet proves one thing: the Syndicate kills to stay in power.
The Southern Syndicate is a relentless Southern political thriller packed with:
Secret societies and rigged elections
Murdered whistleblowers and courtroom payoffs
Blood ties to the shadow empire
A journalist who may not survive the story
