If the Devil Had a Wife

The justice system had long held a place of respect in the Stark household, but no more. What began innocently enough as a family history now possessed all the elements of a Texas-size mystery. Almost by accident, the Stark family turned to information long hidden by a conspiracy of silence. A path of unexpected twists and turns now placed them in the direct aim of a powerful organization fueled by money, absolute greed and survival -- a group dedicated to perpetuating a legacy of lies endured by Homer and Bill since their mother's death when they were 16 years old. Armed with hundreds of thousands of documents, the family takes the final step in unveiling the truth surrounding those who cheated the family, their hometown of Orange and the United States government out of a billion dollar fortune, all while under the watchful eye of the Texas Attorney General's office. From untimely deaths, questionable use of drugs and ongoing fraud, to money laundering, tax evasion and racketeering, all the evidence was there of a deception engineered by the most unlikely of partners.
