Behind the glamorous facade of Kentucky's most
famous family lurks a secret - one that threatens its very foundation . . .
In Charlemont, Kentucky, the Bradford family is the crème de la crème of high society - just like their exclusive brand of bourbon. And their complicated lives and vast estate are run by a discrete staff who inevitably become embroiled in their affairs. This is especially true now, when the apparent suicide of the family patriarch is starting to look more and more like murder.
No one is above suspicion - especially the eldest Bradford son, Edward. The bad blood between him and his father is known far and wide, and he is aware that he could be named a suspect. As the investigation into the death intensifies, he keeps himself busy at the bottom of a bottle - as well as with his former horse trainer's daughter. Meanwhile, the family's financial future lies in the perfectly manicured hands of a business rival, a woman who wants Edward all to herself.
Everything has consequences; everybody has secrets. And few can be trusted. Then, at the very brink of the family's demise, someone thought lost to them forever returns to the fold. Maxwell Bradford has come home. But is he a saviour . . . or the worst of all the sinners?
Jonathan Tulane Baldwine harus menghadapi segala kekacauan yang terjadi sejak kematian ayahnya. Kebocoran keuangan ternyata tidak terjadi di estate Easterly saja, tetapi juga dari perusahaan keluarga mereka, Bradford Bourbon Company (BBC). Selain itu dana trust fund ibunya yang bernilai ratusan juta dollar juga sudah dikuras habis oleh ayahnya, William Bradford. Dan dari penyelidikan yang dilakukan Lane ia mendapati bahwa semua uang yang hilang itu mengalir ke sebuah perusahaan yang bernama WWB Holding. William Wyatt Baldwine Holding. Hanya saja, Lane tidak bisa menemukan dimana perusahaan itu berada.
