From the Inside Flap:
1804.
Pirate Luc Lafitte, pirate turned founding father, lynched a slave - Isaac, who impregnated his daughter, Melinda. Isaac is Luc's illegitimate son. Before hanging to his death, Isaac cursed his father and all future generations of Lafitte's who live on their forbearer's land. Three days after Isaac's death, Luc Lafitte kills himself at the base of the same tree where Isaac was hung.
1963.
Randy Lafitte seeks out a fortune teller on his eighteenth birthday in an effort to resurrect the family curse. Seventy-two hours later Randy's father is dead in an apparent suicide.
1973.
Randy is serendipitously elected Mayor, after the state's first black Mayor is apparently assassinated by his wife, Juanita, who escapes and is never apprehended.
1992.
Randy's only son, Kristopher, is gunned down in the middle of gang crossfire, three days after his eighteenth birthday, killed at the hands of his only black friend - Lincoln Baker.
1998.
The Black Mob attempts to assassinate Randy Lafitte on the eve of his second inauguration. The leader, Panama X is sent to Angola for four consecutive life sentences.
2002.
Randy, now Governor of Louisiana in his second term, learns his daughter, Karen, has been kidnapped on her eighteenth birthday. The ransom calls for the full pardon of Lincoln Baker.
Three days after Karen's kidnapping, an explosive cocktail of vengeance, manipulation, serendipity, fate, truth, and redemption detonates throughout Louisiana. Randy will stop at nothing to save his daughter and himself, even if it means admitting the curse is real. Even if it means committing greater atrocities.
But looks are deceiving. There is something deeper at work here. When the dust settles, the ending is as unexpected as it is illuminating.
ONE BLOOD is a story about the power of suggestion and the beliefs that shape our lives. There are secrets sealed in our blood, you see. The best answers, as always, lie within.
