Publisher Description

A recently deceased grieving spirit decides to rid the world of violent crime, and becomes the most notorious killer in history.

For Luke Stevenson, an otherwise simple afterlife has become catastrophic. He’s been paired to mentor Safia, an angry teenage girl who recently died a violent death. Safia can not only affect the living — unheard of among ghosts like them — but can actually end human lives. With the best intentions, Luke becomes ensnared in her operation to rid the world of all violent crime.

With Luke’s help, Safia prevents acts of violence before they occur, leaving the world in a state of joy, shock, panic, and looking for answers as the body count rises. Perhaps Safia has made the world a safer place. However, when her plan begins a terrifying evolution, Luke must find a way to derail it, as billions of lives hang in the balance.

Imaginative and Thought-Provoking

This is a highly imaginative story that is remarkable for dealing with life after death in a manner that should be acceptable to all religions. The first portion of the story reveals an intimate knowledge of human nature and the inner lies we tell ourselves to support the life we are living. Death transforms the protagonist into a spirit that undergoes "Required Perspective," before being given the option to return as a spirit in the world instead of proceeding to "What's Next". The rest of the book stirs up questions of morals, ethics, and the future of mankind. The story is both entertaining and thought-provoking. It is so engrossing I read it in one sitting. Now I want to go back and read it again.
