Frequently Asked Questions

What genre is Ice On Fire?

 Think John le Carré meets The Wire with a dash of Death Wish thrown in for good measure. Ice On Fire is a crime thriller that refuses to stay in its lane—it's got espionage intrigue, gritty street drama, and enough revenge plotting to make Hamlet jealous. Urban fiction with a PhD in violence, if you will.

Where does the story take place?

Brooklyn serves as our main stage, but the action spills down the East Coast like spilled coffee on a Monday morning. We're talking concrete jungles, shadowy alleyways, and the kind of neighborhoods where your GPS starts sweating. It's urban authenticity with all the charm of a broken streetlight.

Who is the main character?

Meet Isaac "Ice" Stone—because apparently having "Ice" in your nickname is a prerequisite for being ridiculously cool. He's an ex-CIA operative turned one-man justice brigade, dealing with some serious daddy issues (and mentor issues, and general trust issues). Think Jason Bourne if he grew up on the streets and had a personal vendetta against... well, everyone who wronged him.

Is this part of a series?

Right now it's flying solo, like a perfectly crafted standalone martini. But Isaac's character is so richly developed, he could probably carry a whole franchise—assuming he survives his current revenge tour, of course. Sometimes the best stories leave you wanting more while being completely satisfied with what you got.

What age group is this book suitable for?

This one's strictly for the grown-ups, folks. We're talking 18+ content with more mature themes than a philosophy grad student's thesis. Violence, crime, revenge, and probably some language that would make your grandmother reach for her soap. Not exactly bedtime reading for the kiddos.

How long is the book?

Ah, the eternal question! You know how some people ask "How long is a piece of string?" Well, this is like asking "How long does it take to get properly obsessed with a character's journey?" Drop us a line and we'll give you the exact page count—though fair warning, you might find yourself wishing it were longer once you start turning those pages.

Isaac "Ice" Stone is a former CIA operative who doesn't believe in justice, only revenge. With a cold heart and a burning vendetta, Ice launches a calculated mission that shakes the streets of Brooklyn & echoes down the East Coast, after his mentor is kidnapped and murdered by a rising kingpin named Murder One. With the help of Ming, his godsister, hacker, and partner in war, Ice uncovers a web of betrayal, buried secrets, and a connection between Murder One and the overdose that killed his parents. As the body count rises, Ice's past collides with his present in a final, blood soaked showdown. One way in, no way out.
