    About this ebook

    When Lucas Sneed returns to his hometown of Zion, Virginia and the shelter of a loving sister, he conceals a dangerous secret: he’s a suspect in a church fire that may be connected to a wave of mysterious arsons throughout the South. This dark and complex tale blends a fast-paced, modern crime drama with a stark portrait of a fallen world—in a land of preachers and thieves, murderers and suburban dads, children and old men whose voices God no longer hears. “Aaron R. Even’s novel, HE COMES IN FIRE, delivers a satisfying journey through a suspenseful plot with many richly developed characters.” —American Book Review “An entertaining, character-driven Southern Gothic tale enlivened by murder and written with compelling prose.” —Kirkus Reviews “Even’s prose is lyrical yet precise.” —VIRGINIA magazine
