Description
He woke up dead—and already running out of time.
Frankie Jones can’t remember much, but he’s pretty sure life after death shouldn’t be this busy. Shortly after Frankie wakes up dead, an angel tasks him with helping Amelia Fournier, the daughter of a local baker and fellow spirit stuck between life and death. If either of them wants to move on, they’ll have to work together and solve Amelia’s murder.
Her case is strangely high priority. With a rare ability to possess the living, Frankie teams up with the detectives on her case—but the deeper they dig, the less it adds up. A victim once under protective custody. A ruthless gang with a missing hitman. Clues that refuse to line up.
With angelic warnings that time is running out, and no memories of who he was—only the growing realization that the truth of this case may define him—Frankie must solve Amelia’s murder before it’s too late… and decide what it means to be a good man, no matter who he used to be.

Advance Praise
"A paranormal crime thriller with a surprisingly tender center." — Literary Titan
"Prepare for impact, because Sean Esson is about to catapult you straight out of your comfort zone! He created a whole new world after death in The Flour Girl, and if you think it is peaceful or even boring on the other side, you’ve got another thing coming. Fast-paced, cleverly structured, unputdownable." — Lizzie Mac, author of Family Secrets
"Sean Esson's engaging book has all the thrill of a fast paced detective novel and the metaphysical subtlety and psychological complexity of a mystical journey. A modern day Crime and Punishment, we explore the themes of grief, evil, crime, redemption and finally — acceptance. Esson has cleverly left the door ajar for further adventures and I very much look forward to his next book." — Nigel Utton, author of Where Have My Other Mummy and Daddy Gone?
"Sean Esson constructs a cleverly grounded dual mystery [...] I cried, I laughed, and I rooted for the characters that felt familiar in a place I have never been." — Readers' Favorite
"It is inventive, sharply paced, emotionally grounded, and written with the kind of confidence that makes a reader settle in and trust the ride. It’s a murder mystery worth chasing, but most importantly, the characters are worth following into the dark. I would absolutely recommend it to readers who enjoy paranormal crime, afterlife stories with rules and some bite, and redemption arcs that come with bruises instead of bows." — Independent Book Review
