"A DEAD MAN'S LAST 48 HOURS TO BURN THE TRUTH ALIVE."

When ex-NSA operative Bill Anderson is gunned down in a botched home invasion, his final thought isn't of fear-it's fury. His killers left no trace. The police see a random robbery. His wife claims innocence. His troubled son hides a drug debt. And his best friend? Well, some secrets rot deeper than graves.

But death isn't the end for Bill.

After his body is reduced to ashes at the Silverpine Crematorium, a down-on-his-luck ex-con, Bufford Remco, accidentally inhales Bill's remains-and wakes up with Bill trapped in his body. Now, with 48 hours before his borrowed memories fade forever, Bufford (Bill) must:

• Unmask the killer who betrayed Bill.
• Protect Bill's son from a drug lord's crosshairs.
• Expose Bill's wife's affair with the man he called brother.
• Outrun his own violent past, which threatens to bury them both.

But as Bufford (Bill) digs, he uncovers a conspiracy dirtier than the crematorium's soot-one that ties his murder to a classified NSA operation he thought he'd buried. Someone wanted him silenced. Someone is hunting his son. And someone he trusted most sold him out.

Time is ash. Revenge is oxygen.

In a breakneck race against dawn, Bufford (Bill) will blur the lines between justice and vengeance, life and death, love and lies. But when the clock runs out, will he fade into oblivion-or drag his enemies into the fire with him?
