Neveah and their father, who run the Carruthers Crematorium in the run-down central Virginia town of Jefferson Run, see death up close every day. But mortality draws even closer when it becomes clear that the crash that landed their father in a coma was no accident and Dante’s recklessness has placed them all in real danger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoman, a financial whiz with a head for numbers and a talent for making his clients rich, has some money to help buy his brother out of trouble. But in his work with wannabe tough guys, he’s forgotten that there are \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e gangsters out there. As his bargaining chips go up in smoke, Roman realizes that he has only one thing left to offer to save his brother: himself, and his own particular set of skills.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoman begins his work for the criminals while Neveah tries to uncover the long-ago mystery of what happened to their mother, who disappeared when they were teenagers. But Roman is far less of a pushover than the gangsters realize. He is willing to do anything to save his family. Anything.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause everything burns.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A fast-paced thriller that will have readers asking whether the ends justify the means if there is no end in sight.
