Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby returns with a gripping Southern crime epic and family drama. When Roman Carruthers is called home after his father's car accident, he discovers his younger brother, Dante, is in deep with dangerous criminals, while their sister, Neveah, struggles to keep the family and their business, Carruthers Crematorium, afloat. In their rundown Virginia town, death is a constant presence, but it becomes more immediate when it’s revealed that their father's coma was no accident and Dante's reckless actions have put them all at risk. Roman, a financial expert, initially thinks he can use his resources to help Dante, but quickly learns that the stakes are much higher than he anticipated. As he begins to negotiate with real gangsters, he realizes that he has only one asset left to save his brother: himself and his unique skills. Meanwhile, Neveah seeks to uncover the mystery surrounding their mother’s long-ago disappearance. Roman’s determination to protect his family leads him down a dark path, revealing that he is far more resilient than the criminals expect. In this world, everything burns, and he is prepared to do whatever it takes to safeguard those he loves.
