"A breakneck dissection of truth, lies, and all the troubles in between." - Stephanie Hayes, author of Obitchuary After you're gone, what will they say about you? Alton Carver is about to find out. Alton is under federal investigation for embezzling and securities fraud. Instead of spending years behind bars, he's got a plan: stage his own death, take the money he stole and light out for Central America, leaving behind his wife and daughter. But when he sticks around town long enough to watch his own funeral, he makes the unpleasant discovery that the life he's leaving behind isn't the life he thought he had. When he overhears the way his former colleagues talk about him now that he's "gone," Alton is forced to reconsider his self-image as a respected pillar of the legal community. The shock of seeing his wife in the arms of another man leads Alton to postpone his plan to run for the border. What comes next is a slow-burn train wreck, a tale of self-deception, revenge and bad decisions.
