In 1970, an infantryman and his platoon encountered a horseshoe-shaped ambush in the jungles of Vietnam. Six members of the young soldier’s unit were trapped behind enemy lines, facing no chance for survival if rescue were not imminent. Twenty-one-year-old Specialist 4 Philip Salois and a fellow grunt were determined to save their six comrades. Before crawling out into the line of fire, Phil asked God to protect him and see him through this ordeal unharmed in return for a promise to do anything wanted of him afterwards. It is a promise that many men about to do battle make, but few keep.

“Flower of Heaven, a new novel by Rhode Island writer Julien Ayotte, is a fast-paced global thriller that would make a great movie.” —Bill Reynolds, Providence Journal

Environmental tests are altered by a crooked construction crew. And a paralegal is almost killed in a car crash. Could a stranger’s memories breathe new life into a long-closed cold case? This new thriller will keep you guessing.
Ayotte delivers the perfect read. A smart, well-paced thriller.
—US Review of Books
A Life Before is in the upper echelon of literary greatness. A masterfully crafted tale of intrigue and suspense. An absolute must read.
—Apex Reviews
The combination of courtroom drama and supernatural mystery in this thriller is highly promising, and the outcome is satisfying...Ayotte’s novel offers a fresh new approach to the theme of reincarnation and the effects of past-life memories.

Julien Ayotte ia s fantastic writer. He is one of those writers like Jeffrey Archer or Tess Gerritsen that I will automatically buy and read any book they publish. This is his third book. I am tempted to say it is his best, but that would be unfair to his previous books. They are all the best. His plot development, character development and imagination is superb. When reading his books, you cannot help but identify with the characters and say to yourself-what would I do in this situation? I look forward with great anticipation to his next book and am pleased to hear he intends to keep writing many more novels. I can’t believe that he hasn’t yet been signed up by major publishers, TV and movie producers. Apparently, he is a star yet to be discovered. I am happy to share the secret with all who love a great read and a great story.
—Peter Hoffman, June 29, 2016
There may be no writer of mystery thrillers in Rhode Island more talented than Julien Ayotte. His books have won several awards and are acclaimed nationally. A Life Before is a terrific read!
— Paul Caranci, author of Scoundrels, 2016 Dorry Award Winner for Non-fiction
This book is a great recommendation for readers who enjoy cold-case stories and other crime thrillers. The information given throughout is thought-provoking, and I am sure several readers will end up doing their own research on radon gas after reading. I found this book to be informative, and I hope others see it the same way. I am interested to see what else is offered by Julien Ayotte, and plan to continue reading his novels.

Fantastic book! Intriguing plot. Reminds me slightly of James Patterson’s Kiss The Girls in the way that the story has lots going on and you would expect that you might get confused but you don’t because the story is always moving forward. There are no dull parts to fall asleep to. I didn’t put the book down!
— Vanessa Pannicchia
Wow, after being a fan of Julien Ayotte’s first two thrillers, I bought his latest classic at a Warwick Library book signing. Bravo, Julien! You are like a fine wine with your complex characters and twisting plots. I think this work will make the readers go back and purchase your first two to see what they missed. Your brand is now highly accepted and you now have a legacy as a very good writer in a very large market. Well done!
