The Family Business 7: New Orleans
About this ebook
Operated by the same family for more than a century, Midnight Blues may be fun for the locals and the tourists, but as of late, the club hasn’t been fun for its owner, Big Shirley Duncan, or her son Marquis, descendants of the original proprietors. The pair finds themselves in the middle of a turf war between local politicians, developers, and a ruthless underworld boss, Jean LeBlanc, who is looking to make a name for himself.
Afraid for the first time in her life that her family may lose control of The Blues, Big Shirley sends Marquis out of town for his own safety. Marquis takes a detour to New York to see the family of her brother-in-law, LC Duncan. His New York family enlists the help of bounty hunter Curtis Duncan and his highly trained sister, Lauryn Duncan, to help add some muscle and security to their family’s struggling business.
