A Mickey Flynn Novel
A savage ride through addiction, loyalty, prison walls, and backroom hustles. Mickey Flynn's world doesn't hand out redemption - he has to steal it.
"Some stories are told in ink. This one's written in scars."
At 35, Mickey Flynn is a man on fire. Fresh out of jail, chasing ghosts, and fueled by Hennessy and heartbreak, he's doing all the wrong things for the right reasons - or maybe the other way around.
Burnt isn't a story about second chances. It's a story about what happens when you've already used yours - and you're willing to burn the whole world to get back what you lost.

"Victor Zepol pulls no punches. Mickey Flynn is the antihero you root for even when you know he's wrong." - Underground Lit Review
"If Elmore Leonard and Hunter S. Thompson had a bastard child, it might look like this book." - Reader Review
Click here to read the prologue - Page 10 of the book delivers everything in one scene: drugs, dysfunction, and dark comedy. Let the story speak for itself.
Victor Zepol writes from the underground out. After years inside the system, he now puts blood on the page instead of walls. His debut novel, Burnt, is more than fiction - it's lived experience sharpened by grit and regret. Victor doesn't sugarcoat anything. He writes about what he saw, did, and survived. No cliches. No filtered truth. Just raw narrative that hits like a gut punch.
What started as scribbles in a cellblock became a brutal, beautifully flawed story of Mickey Flynn - an addict, convict, hustler, and man who can't stop burning bridges even when he needs them most.
Don't miss the sequel, Penance - coming soon.
