The Family Business 7: New Orleans

Front Cover
Urban Books, Aug 20, 2024 - Fiction - 288 pages
Keep up with the Duncan family down South as we travel to New Orleans in The Family Business 7.

Operated by the same family for more than a century, Midnight Blues may be fun for the locals and the tourists, but as of late, the club hasn’t been fun for its owner, Big Shirley Duncan, or her son Marquis, descendants of the original proprietors. The pair finds themselves in the middle of a turf war between local politicians, developers, and a ruthless underworld boss, Jean LeBlanc, who is looking to make a name for himself.

Afraid for the first time in her life that her family may lose control of The Blues, Big Shirley sends Marquis out of town for his own safety. Marquis takes a detour to New York to see the family of her brother-in-law, LC Duncan. His New York family enlists the help of bounty hunter Curtis Duncan and his highly trained sister, Lauryn Duncan, to help add some muscle and security to their family’s struggling business.

Carl Weber is the New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty novels and short stories. He graduated from Virginia State University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and has an MBA in marketing from the University of Virginia. A lifelong reader, Weber wanted to write stories about ordinary people who have crazy things happening in their lives. Now, when he’s not connecting with readers through his books, Weber is finding new talent for his own publishing company, Urban Books. His latest venture is Urban Books Media, a production company that is turning several of his novels into films. His films, The Man in 3B, The Preacher’s Son, and Influence, are available now on streaming services. His television series, The Family Business, is currently airing on BET+.

C. N. Phillips is most known for her daring gritty detail and her ability to weave a story out of thin air. The one thing she enjoys most is when her audience trusts her enough with their minds to follow her down every rabbit hole. Currently signed to fellow author Carl Weber's publishing house, Urban Books, C. N. is already trailblazing alongside her predecessors. With titles such as The Last Kings and Five Families of New York, she wants the world to know that she's just getting started.
