Blood and Bone

Once Kyle Byrne had promise. But he opted for a life of slack-drinking too much, playing too much Xbox, sleeping with the wrong type of women. He will, however, always attend the burial services of friends of his late father, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer. It's his only connection to the parent he barely knew, yet whose passing still casts a shadow on his heart.

But when his dad's former law partner is murdered and the cops start asking Kyle uncomfortable questions, he's forced to confront head-on the tragedies and self-deceptions that form the fabric of his existence. Suddenly, Kyle wants the real truth about his father's death-and his search is leading him to high, dark, and very dangerous places.

They say be careful what you wish for, and Kyle should keep that in mind-because his wish is about to come true . . . with a vengeance.
