<p><strong>From the author of&nbsp;<em>The Winner Maker</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Blackquest 40</em>&nbsp;comes&nbsp;<em>The Pinebox Vendetta</em>: a genre-bending thriller that combines a love story, cold-case murder mystery, and political blood feud &ndash; told over the course of a single breathless weekend.</strong><br />
<br />
The Gallaghers and Pruitts have dominated the American political landscape dating back to Revolutionary times. The Yale University class of 1996 had one of each, and as the twenty-year reunion approaches, the families are on a collision course.<br />
<br />
Owen Gallagher is coasting to the Democratic nomination for president.<br />
<br />
Rock Pruitt &ndash; the brash maverick whose career was derailed two decades ago by his association to a tragic death &ndash; is back, ready to reclaim the mantle of clan leader.<br />
<br />
And fatefully in between lies Samantha Lessing. Sam arrives at reunion weekend lugging a rotten marriage, dumb hope, and a portable audio recorder she&#39;ll use for a public radio-style documentary on the Pruitt-Gallagher rivalry &ndash; widely known as the pinebox vendetta. What Sam uncovers will thrust her into the middle of the ancient feud, upending presidential politics and changing the trajectory of one clan forever.<br />
<br />
<em>The Pinebox Vendetta</em>&nbsp;is the first entry in the Pruitt-Gallagher saga: a series that promises cutthroat plots, power grabs, and unforgettable characters stretched to their very limits by the same ideological forces that roil America today.</p>
