A gripping roller coaster ride of escalating danger.” —New York Times Book Review“Pick up the novel everyone will be talking about.” —The Atlantic“Dark, riveting, and accomplished.” —Washington PostAward-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."[A] sizzling summer read that concludes with a few unexpected twists.”—Atlanta Journal Constitution - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/february-mder-by-the-book-club-king-of-ashes/100001976390754951 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, performances, theatre, entertainment, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Old Town Books - **lat**: 38.80359139999999 - **long**: -77.04368099999999 - **full address**: Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: February M**der by the Book Club: King of Ashes - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/dbacad971d5a0342afd2962d6852800547e807cb4f1665fc5a7235ca4b8d4068-rimg-w1200-h600-dc2a292e-gmir.jpg?v=1764739747 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is February M**der by the Book Club: King of Ashes being held? - **A:** February M**der by the Book Club: King of Ashes takes place on Tue, 24 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 24 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing February M**der by the Book Club: King of Ashes? - **A:** February M**der by the Book Club: King of Ashes is organized by Old Town Books. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "February M**der by the Book Club: King of Ashes", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/dbacad971d5a0342afd2962d6852800547e807cb4f1665fc5a7235ca4b8d4068-rimg-w1200-h600-dc2a292e-gmir.jpg?v=1764739747", "startDate": "2026-02-24", "endDate": "2026-02-24", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/february-mder-by-the-book-club-king-of-ashes/100001976390754951", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Old Town Books", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "130 South Royal Street", "postalCode": "22314", "addressLocality": "Alexandria", "addressRegion": "VA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.80359139999999", "longitude": "-77.04368099999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for a thrilling discussion of our February M**der by the Book Club pick: King of Ashes by SA Cosby", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-24", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/february-mder-by-the-book-club-king-of-ashes/100001976390754951" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/february-mder-by-the-book-club-king-of-ashes/100001976390754951", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Old Town Books", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/old-town-books/22517177", "description": "Old Town Books is a new independent bookstore in Alexandria, VA.
