Mack Dooley is a haunted man. After the events of A Violent Gospel left Mack at the bottom of a whiskey bottle, he's back in A Mourning Song, forced to face his demons. When his brother resurfaces, Mack finds himself caught up in a turf war between the Bohannon crime family and a gang of white supremacists. Mack is furious with Marshall, but family is family, after all. In order to survive, he'll have to set aside his disagreements with his brother so they can work together to run the Ghostface Devils out of Tugalo County.
