Harland Avery thought he'd left danger behind when he traded his detective badge for an insurance investigator's desk. But a warehouse fire in a decaying city pulls him back into a darkness far older-and far deadlier-than simple arson.
Among the charred beams he finds a strange symbol etched into the wall, its looping lines alive with menace. The deeper Harland digs, the more he uncovers: shell corporations, ritualistic fires, and a secret cult known as the Order of the Eternal Flame, whose reach extends from the docks to city hall. With every clue, the city's corruption spreads wider, and the fires burn closer to home.
When a mysterious woman offers him fragments of the truth-and a warning-Harland is thrust into a conspiracy where the next blaze could consume everything he loves. To stop the cult, he'll have to outwit powerful enemies, expose the city's rot, and face a darkness willing to destroy anyone who gets in its way.
Gripping and atmospheric, Ashes in the Rain is a noir thriller laced with occult intrigue, perfect for fans of James Ellroy and Dennis Lehane. Once you step into Harland Avery's rain-slick streets, you won't want to leave-though survival is far from guaranteed.
