Overview

Blood and Power: The Murdaugh Murders That Shook South Carolina For more than a century, the Murdaugh family reigned over South Carolina's Low country wielding influence in courtrooms, politics, and small-town life. They were a dynasty that seemed untouchable, their name synonymous with wealth, privilege, and power. But behind the polished façade lay secrets, scandals, and tragedies that would ultimately tear their empire apart. From the mysterious deaths of Stephen Smith and Gloria Satterfield, to the fatal 2019 boat crash that claimed the life of Mallory Beach, and finally to the shocking murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh at the family's Moselle estate, this book traces the dark unraveling of a family that believed itself above the law. Through meticulous research and a deeply humanized approach, Blood and Power explores not only the crimes of Alex Murdaugh, but also the broader lessons about small-town politics, systemic corruption, and the price of unchecked privilege. At its heart, it is a story of victims who demanded justice, a community forced to confront its silence, and the fall of an empire built on blood and influence. Gripping, haunting, and revelatory, this book is more than a true crime narrative; it is a cautionary tale about power, corruption, and the reckoning that comes when truth can no longer be buried.
