A new dimension in detective stories… Once a promising cop with a bright future, Kevin Fahey’s self-destructive tendencies led him into alcoholism—destroying both his career and his marriage while ultimately contributing to his early death. Now a lost soul in limbo, Fahey is desperately trying to make amends so that he can escape the lonely world between heaven and earth that he finds himself trapped in. He sees assisting Maggie Gunn, the detective who replaced him, as the best way to start the process of his atonement and, perhaps, one day move on. The Dead Detective series has been described as suspenseful but also deeply thoughtful and, ultimately, both inspiring and reassuring.
