防詐3要訣：不聽信、不操作、掛斷電話 
內容簡介
當代黑色小說大師 S. A. Cosby 新作《灰燼之王》，受《教父》啟發，在南方犯罪史詩氣息中，巧妙運用火葬場的設定，以莎劇般高深的哲學思辨鋪展深沉的家庭悲劇，刷新了驚悚小說類型。
當長子羅曼·卡拉瑟斯(Roman Carruthers)在父親車禍後被召喚回家時，他發現弟弟丹特(Dante)欠下危險罪犯的債務，而妹妹內薇雅(Neveah)則疲於獨自撐起整個家庭和家族事業。內薇雅與他們的父親在維吉尼亞州中部沒落的小鎮傑佛遜蘭(Jefferson Run)經營著卡拉瑟斯火葬場，每天近距離面對著死亡。然而，當他們發現父親陷入昏迷的車禍並非意外，且丹特的魯莽行為讓他們全家身處險境時，死亡的威脅更逼近了。
羅曼是個擅長數字的金融高手，有能力讓客戶致富，他帶了一些錢想幫助弟弟脫困。但在他與那些想充作硬漢的客戶打交道時，他忘了世界上還有真正的黑幫。當他的談判籌碼化為烏有時，羅曼意識到他只剩下最後一樣東西可以拯救他的弟弟：他自己，以及他獨特的技能。
羅曼開始為罪犯工作，而內薇雅則試圖揭開多年前母親失蹤的謎團。但羅曼遠比那些黑幫以為的要難以對付。為了拯救家人，他願意做任何事。任何事。
因為一切都會化為灰燼……
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby returns with King of Ashes, a Godfather-inspired Southern crime epic and dazzling family drama.
When eldest son Roman Carruthers is summoned home after his father’s car accident, he finds his younger brother, Dante, in debt to dangerous criminals and his sister, Neveah, exhausted from holding the family―and the family business―together. Neveah and their father, who run the Carruthers Crematorium in the run-down central Virginia town of Jefferson Run, see death up close every day. But mortality draws even closer when it becomes clear that the crash that landed their father in a coma was no accident and Dante’s recklessness has placed them all in real danger.
Roman, a financial whiz with a head for numbers and a talent for making his clients rich, has some money to help buy his brother out of trouble. But in his work with wannabe tough guys, he’s forgotten that there are real gangsters out there. As his bargaining chips go up in smoke, Roman realizes that he has only one thing left to offer to save his brother: himself, and his own particular set of skills.
Roman begins his work for the criminals while Neveah tries to uncover the long-ago mystery of what happened to their mother, who disappeared when they were teenagers. But Roman is far less of a pushover than the gangsters realize. He is willing to do anything to save his family. Anything.
Because everything burns.
