Thomas is 24 hours from being a punching bag for the local mafia’s bodyguard. In over his head in debt, he’s just about to give up on living when a strange boy named Will offers him a short-term but very lucrative job as a driver. With nothing to lose but his life, Thomas agrees. But Will isn’t all that he appears and the force chasing him across the country makes the mafia boss look like Santa Claus in comparison. This is a very tightly written thriller with all the right ingredients for an int...more
Thank you Sam for asking me if I would like to read this. I´m very glad you did - and that I accepted.
Thomas, a not very nice person meets WIll, a young strange boy who is for some reason carrying his brothers ashes. I don´t want to tell you what happens, but as in all novels dealing with good vs evil there is a quest.
I very much enjoyed the story. The characters are credibly and cleverly drawn. The writing is swift and clear and the story has the classic ingredients - good, evil, human shortc...more

I just finished an awesome novel, Ashes by Sam Best. If you like horror without senseless gore or scenes that that can be deleted. That makes you think and groan when then the book ends because you want more. That leaves you anxiously waiting for the next book. This is A MUST READ...5 stars.
lost interest!

The proximity to such a massive nexus of imagination helped fuel his creative fires and was one of a thousand influences on his becoming a novelist. He likes food and air, as well as looking up at the stars when he thinks no one else on Earth is doing the same thing.
