No Road Home: A Novel BY John Fram

In this “whip-smart, horror-tinged whodunnit in the style of early Stephen King” (Julia Bartz, New York Times bestselling author), a young father must clear his name and protect his queer son when his wealthy new wife’s televangelist grandfather is found murdered.

Single father Toby Tucker has spent years shielding his sensitive son, Luca, from the world’s prejudices. But when Toby marries Alyssa Wright, the granddaughter of a notorious televangelist known for his fiery Old Testament preaching, Toby and Luca are thrust into a world of religious zeal, wealth, and hidden animosity.

Their visit to the Wright family’s sprawling Texas compound takes a nightmarish turn when a freak storm isolates them from the outside world. The situation escalates when the family patriarch is discovered murdered, stabbed in the chest on the roof of the mansion. With suspicion quickly falling on Toby, he must navigate a web of deceit and danger.

As Toby tries to clear his name, Luca begins to speak of a spectral figure in a black suit with unfinished business. It becomes clear that the Wrights have darker secrets than just a murder to hide—and those secrets are dangerously alive.

With the family closing in on Luca and the tension mounting, Toby will stop at nothing to protect his son and unveil the truth behind the murder. In this “grand gothic story as enthralling as it is terrifying” (S.A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author), Toby’s struggle against a backdrop of fear and betrayal reveals the true horrors lurking beneath the surface.
