Nearly Departed

Con artists are a notoriously skeptical bunch, and Dennis Gufehautt is no exception. His scheme of masquerading as a paranormal investigator seems foolproof, until he encounters an actual ghost haunting an antique armchair.

Now, having unwittingly become a witness to a decades-old murder, Dennis finds himself stumbling headfirst into bizarre and often hilarious situations as he tries to solve a legitimate paranormal mystery.

Pursued by an overzealous private detective and driven to befriend a cast of memorable characters – from a perpetually-smoking matron to a charismatic charlatan who masquerades as an African shaman – Dennis works to exorcise the haunted furniture and return his life to a state of moderate normality.

Easier said than done.
