Part of Charley Davidson, book 1
First published 2011
Charley Davidson splits her time between two demanding jobs. Days find her tracking down cheating spouses and missing persons as a private investigator. Nights belong to her duties as a grim reaper, guiding departed souls toward the light. The dead seek her out constantly, and she can see them all. Murder victims prove especially persistent, demanding justice before they'll cross over. Charley finds herself investigating their killers to give these restless spirits peace. Her already complicated existence grows more tangled when vivid dreams about a mysterious entity intensify. This being has shadowed her throughout her life, but recent revelations suggest he might still be alive. His true nature remains unclear, yet Charley feels drawn to him despite the danger. She struggles to understand what he wants from her and why she can't resist his pull. Each case she takes on as both investigator and reaper brings new challenges, while this enigmatic figure looms larger in her thoughts.
