Scrivenings of the King-Beyond-The-Wall

New Orleans #1

When my best friend died, I thought it was the end of everything. But it was actually the start of a new beginning, with our crime-solving partnership taken to the next level now that one of us could commune with the ghosts of the past. His incorporeality made “two person tasks” in the real world a little more challenging, but it was an acceptable tradeoff. We quickly rose through the ranks of human-ghost working partnerships and were on track to be honored by their professional association at their annual gala next October.

Each on our own side
of the proverbial grave—
We are both famous
