Next of Kin by Derek Jordan

Luke Law is a law-abiding citizen who is considered a lame in the eyes of those around him. Struggling at a low paying group home job, his world hits the core of rock bottom when he is temporally removed from his position. When crime lord Ike Collins gives him a brutal ultimatum concerning the grand larceny of Luke's deceased older brother, he must repay it or witness the blood bath of his family.

Follow Luke into the pit of the underworld where his heart, love, strength, and soul is put to the test in an endless maze of horrific scenarios, villains, and unforeseen danger. This is a gravely bloody tale of a humble man's fight to keep his family above ground and out of harm's way.
