For nearly a decade, twenty-nine-year-old Hudson Miller has made his living in the boxing ring, but a post-fight brawl threatens to derail his career. Desperate for money, Hudson takes a gig as a bouncer at a dive bar. That’s when life delivers him another hook to the jaw: his estranged father, Leland, has been murdered in what appears to be a robbery-gone-bad at his salvage yard, Miller’s Pull-a-Part.
Soon after his father’s funeral, Hudson learns he’s inherited the salvage yard, and he returns to his Bible-belt hometown of Flint Creek, North Carolina, to run the business. But the business is far more than junk cars and scrap metal. It was the site of an illegal gun-running ring. And the secrets don’t end there: a grisly discovery is made at the yard that thrusts Hudson into the fight of his life.
Reeling for answers, Hudson joins forces with his father’s former employee, 71-year-old, beer-guzzling Vietnam vet Charlie Shoaf, and a feisty teenage girl, Lucy Reyes, who’s fiercely seeking justice for her own family tragedy. With a murderer on the loose and no answers from the local cops, the trio of outcasts launch an investigation. The shocking truth they uncover will shake Flint Creek to its very core.

Scott Blackburn delivers a powerful debut thriller with It Dies With You. In this raw and gritty southern noir, Blackburn weaves together intriguing characters and elegant writing that hits you like a punch. Blackburn should be an author that everyone picks up this summer. So far, this is my summer pick that any crime fiction fan will love.
I was truly impressed with Ciulla's narration as well. I've listened to a handful of different books he's narrated and I've really enjoyed them all. This book was a fantastic piece of Southern noir, and I highly recommend it.

Great read!

The other characters, Lucy & Charlie were so endearing to the very end. The end was lied up a little too neatly, but the other 93% of the story had my full attention. I couldn’t put it down.
Discovery of a new genre of fiction

It was more good than bad, but then "Scrappy Doo" swooped in and took over the plot out of nowhere.
Solid plot, too many diversions

Incredible Story / Amazing Narration

I’m really enjoying the emergence of new writers like Scott, S.A. Cosby and Jordan Harper. They’re capturing the topical references and the tone/mood of today in ways that my previous low brow titans - Stephen king, Nelson demille and Michael Connelly - simply cannot - and the latters’ efforts are bothering me. I urge these new writers to keep writing and I’ll keep reading - and I hope others do too.
Only reason for me to not give five stars on story is a personal preference for an element of romance in a novel, and all three emerging writers that I referenced are missing that ingredient so far - probably cause they’re new writers and there is nuance to that type of intimate interaction, tying it back to the narrative and moving the story forward without losing pace. King does that so well. But character development occurs in action and thrills as well as in response to a romantic interest. It can add texture to these cool stories and I hope these writers find their way.
I also would have liked a fight scene with our jujitsu trained protagonist/semi pro boxer where he showed how dangerous he could be.
At any rate, I highly recommend this one. Cool premise, fun characters and the story moves ahead at a good pace. If your an audio book person like me then get this for the narration- dude does a good job. Let’s help these newer writers stay published!
Really enjoyed this book!
