Spectral Detective M V Stott

What happens when an exorcist who spent a lifetime banishing ghosts gets murdered and becomes one?



When Jake Fletcher died he discovered a horrible truth: the method he was using to send souls to the afterlife wasn't transporting them to a better place. It was obliterating them. To atone for his mortal sins he becomes a spectral detective: a phantom PI who helps restless spirits depart the mortal plane by bringing their killers to justice. His latest job is no open-and-shut case, though. The ghost of a dead celebrity needs his help to cross to the other side, but for that to happen, Jake will have to reckon with a cabal of sinister magicians and a soul-hungry demon. To complicate matters further, a minion of God has informed Jake that if he doesn't succeed in his task, he'll face arbitration at the pearly gates. And he won't be getting a halo hung on his head. Does Jake have what it takes to walk his client into the light, or are two souls about to be lost forever?
