The Inheritance

by Christopher Stires

What if you could have your every wish... ...whim... ...and desire? What would you want? And what would others want from you? Jess Claiborne is about to find out. After eight years in a Mexican prison, Jess is attempting to readjust to normal life. Then he inherits a mysterious box from his murdered uncle--a box that will grant his every wish. Jess soon realizes that ownership of the box comes with a terrible price tag--possibly the life of the woman he loves, and his own.

An intriguing premise but I had a hard time following the story and keeping characters straight. Also I prefer less violence.
