Everyone Dies in Youngstown Publisher's summary

Can a man stand by when his brother's been murdered?

It's a dog-eat-dog world in rust belt Youngstown, Ohio—but MJ Shea, a small-time cocaine runner, is making out just fine, thank you.

Until his crack-addicted brother turns up on the street, his brains blown all over the pavement.

The cops can't be bothered investigating a simple gangland murder.

And no one wants to tangle with Waylay Mays, the city's brutal drug lord.

But with his own life on the line, MJ must fight his way through the lies and hidden dangers of the rust belt streets to get justice for his dead brother.

And what he finds will change everything, forever.

Prepare to stay up late listening to this gritty, fast-paced novel by best-selling thriller writer James Dain, Best Novel Winner at the Los Angeles Neo-Noir Festival.
