The host described the novel as a dark, violent crime story about a finance manager returning home after his father's accident and confronting a local crime gang, noting it was very entertaining.
The first is called King of Ashes. This is by S.A. Cosby, a crime writer who's written four crime novels set in the South, in Virginia. And in this new one, a finance manager named Roman has to come back to his small town after his father is in a terrible accident, discovers that his brother, who's sort of a screw-up, has gotten them all involved with the local crime gang, and he has to figure out how to extract his family from this very dicey situation.
