When Paul Ray decides to burn down his evil family's legacy, he falls into the clutches of those he thought gone.

Unfortunately for Yorke, the answers lie in the most sinister of places. The beating heart of a long-dead killer.

Can Yorke find the truth before it's too late? Or will the curse of the Ray family prove too strong?

'Wes Markin has a gift for bringing pure evil alive. Markin explores the deepest and darkest corners of the human psyche and isn’t afraid to put it on show for all of us to see. He pushes some serious boundaries with his storytelling and I love it!' ~ Herding Cats

'Markin creates characters who are relatable - I love the imperfect, flawed characters. This book deserves a second read! (and maybe more). A very well-written, magnificent story, kept this reader turning the pages. The thrills and intrigue are written clearly and the characterizations are engrossing. Love this story.' ~ Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews

‘There’s no way around it: I LOVED it!The story is exciting and gruesome, heart-wrenching and twisty, the psychological background is right on spot, the characters real. The author has the ability of drawing full and lifelike characters with only a couple of words – without compromising the story’s fast-running dynamic.' ~ Swift Coffee
