They ran whiskey and numbers, trafficked drugs, and left a trail of bodies buried beneath the vines of kudzu that crept over the Southern landscape.

From the dirt roads of Yazoo and the gambling dens of Biloxi to the blood-soaked feuds with lawmen like Sheriff Buford Pusser, Blood in the Kudzu traces the rise and fall of men who built power in the shadows. It unpacks their violent methods, their entanglements with politics and police, and the chilling reign of Kirksey Nix - the kingpin who turned prison walls into a command center for extortion and murder.
