Sherwood Cannon in Lightwood by Steph PostRead about another entry on the list.
The Cannon clan effectively runs the town of Silas, Florida, though it would be going too far to call them welcome in most establishments.They’ve all done time; prison is considered a rite of passage. They’ve extorted, intimidated, stolen, trafficked, and pretty much squeezed the citizens of Silas for what little they have. Which isn’t much. So when the huge and ruthless Sherwood hears of a biker gang coming through town with a hundred and fifty grand in drug money, he enlists every Cannon available—including son Judah, who’s trying his best to stay straight after his latest stretch in the county jail. Sherwood talks a lot about family loyalty and what it means to be a Cannon, but it’s all part of his manipulations and menacing to get what he wants, for himself alone.
