When Flynn Johansen's wife, Jovie Fedorov, dies in a suspicious car crash with her boss, Flynn sells everything to pay the mounting hospital bills — only to inherit a fortune and a courtroom full of accusations. Branded a murderer by Jovie's vengeful stepfather Sergei Moreau and haunted by a tiny recorder found in the wreck, Flynn is thrust into a brutal city-wide purge: corruption, human trafficking, insurance fraud, and a money trail that vanishes overseas. Flynn doesn't have to be innocent to fight. He must expose the rot that used Jovie as a pawn — and survive the men who will kill for the ledger she kept. From interrogation rooms to courtroom standoffs, from violent beatings to quiet nights peeling back Jovie’s secrets, Ashes and Ledgers is a high-stakes, page-turning crime thriller about truth, revenge, and an ordinary man who turns pressure into power. Every chapter delivers hits: courtroom takedowns, shocking reveals, hard-won allies, and a final ledger with a number powerful enough to remake a life — or bury it.
