A car accident, a debt and a son returning home – three puzzle pieces that could solve the mystery of a woman’s disappearance 20 years earlier.

For the Carruthers family at the centre of New York Times–bestselling crime novelist S.A. Cosby’s newest novel, King of Ashes, everything connects. But, like their father always told them, nothing lasts forever. This is a bold, brutal and heartbreaking new suspense story from the future of American crime fiction.

Dig through the ashes of a family’s secrets and betrayals with S.A. in conversation with Matthew Condon.
