The most famous man in South Carolina lives in prison. Once a high-flying lawyer, Alex Murdaugh is now disbarred and disgraced. For more than a decade, prosecutors asserted that Alex was secretly a fraud, thief, drug trafficker, and all-around phony. On June 7, 2021, they claimed, he also became a killer, shooting dead his wife and son. In Swamp Kings, Jason Ryan reveals history has a way of repeating itself, weaving together the narratives of generations of Murdaughs before culminating in the telling of a murder trial for the ages.
