Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael, is both feared and fiercely protective. When an older boy is brutally killed, Michael makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect his brother: He flees the orphanage and takes the blame with him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor two decades, Michael thrives on the streets of New York, eventually clawing his way to a world of wealth, fear and respect. But the life he's fought to build unravels when he meets a woman who knows nothing of his past or sins. He wants a fresh start with Elena, the chance to build a family of his own. But a life in organized crime is not so easily abandoned. With a price on his head and everyone he loves at risk, Michael spirits Elena back to North Carolina, to the brother he'd lost and a thicket of intrigue more dense than he could possibly imagine. In a tour de force narrative of violence, hope and redemption, the brothers must return to the Iron House of their childhood, to the place that almost broke them, the place it all began. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for John Hart\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Lean, hard and absolutely riveting, \u003ci\u003eIron House\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force.\" -- #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vince Flynn \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Vividly beautiful, graphic, will make you bleed.\"-- #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Bestselling Author Patricia Cornwell \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A magnificent creation, Huck Finn channeled through \u003ci\u003eLord of the Flies\u003c\/i\u003e.\" -\u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e on\u003ci\u003e The Last Child\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Gripping.
