He Died. The Mystery Didn't.
One dead man. One unsolved murder. One last chance.
A murder to solve, and a life he can't remember
Frankie Jones can't remember much about who he used to be. He's fairly sure, though, that being dead was supposed to come with more rest.
Not long after Frankie wakes up on the wrong side of his own death, an angel hands him an assignment: help Amelia Fournier move on. Amelia is a baker's daughter, murdered young, and stuck in the same in-between place Frankie is. Neither of them goes anywhere until her killer is found.
Frankie has one rare advantage — he can possess the living. He uses it to work alongside the detectives assigned to Amelia's case. But the further in he goes, the worse the picture looks.
A victim who was already under protective custody.
A gang whose hitman has gone missing.
Evidence that refuses to line up.
The angel keeps warning him that time is short. Frankie doesn't know what he did with his own life, only that the answer to Amelia's death may end up defining him. Before the clock runs out, he has to decide what it means to be a good man — whoever he was before.
Meet the Dead & the Damned
Three of them are dead. Only one of them knows why.
Frankie Jones
The one doing the looking
Wakes up in an alley with no memory of how he got there, and a stranger telling him he's already dead. He can slip inside the living — which turns out to be the only useful thing about him.
Amelia Fournier
The one who can't leave
A young woman whose murder left her tied to the world instead of free of it. She stays where she is until somebody works out who did it, and why nobody stopped them.
Salvius
The one with the deadline
Arrives with the bad news and the assignment, and very little else. Whatever he's offering at the end of all this, he isn't in a hurry to describe it.
The Flour Girl works as a murder investigation, a metaphysical thriller, and a character-driven story about discovering that who you’ve been and who you choose to become don’t always have to be the same person.
