FAMILY is a novel about Terry Davis and his two remarkable daughters, Lindsey Coltrane, 22, and Leigh Davis, 20, half-sisters who call themselves soul twins; and the unintended consequences caused by the incident at the Beach House.The story challenges the concepts of the blended family, friendship and loyalty and love, especially with the two sisters, Lindsey and Leigh, when under pressure.Lindsey Coltrane is the hip-hop super-diva, business woman, business partner, and best friend with her sister, Leigh Davis. Leigh Davis is a Wall Street super-star and fiercely loyal to Lindsey Coltrane and their "family." Terry Davis is single parent and lost boy seeking his own redemption with no idea what to do with two daughters. They live in a world of New York penthouses, grand estates, global corporations, militarized police task forces, drug gangs, and rich powerful men. The unintended consequences of the Beach House propels the novel against undertow of several large and powerful families and the Brotherhood drug gang; a vicious Captain intent on bringing down the alleged godfather of the Brotherhood drug gang; the revenge for two decades old car-bombings; a mad-bomber being chased by an assassin across the Mid-South; and in the middle of it all, a race by Leigh Davis to retrieve hundreds of millions from a German investment bank before it can declare bankruptcy.FAMILY is a crime family saga and a thriller with a sly sense of humor. The action whirls from Nassau to Manhattan to Atlanta to Memphis to New Orleans with side trips to Tokyo and Frankfurt, Germany. Nothing is as it seems. There are shocks around every corner and portrayals of loyalty at the cost of personal safety as Lindsey Coltrane and Leigh Davis fight to be victors rather victims.
