A Grim Reaper's Guide to Catching a Killer

Description

Kathy Valence has a job most people can’t imagine—she’s a modern grim reaper working for S.C.Y.T.H.E.—and her life is already complicated by divorce, pregnancy, and the pressure of keeping souls moving on. When the soul of seventeen-year-old Conner Ortiz goes missing, the case turns personal and dangerous as Conner insists he was murdered and demands the truth before his spirit is trapped in limbo. With only forty-five days to uncover who killed him and why, Kathy must navigate bureaucratic shadows, uneasy alliances, and clues that seem to come from Conner himself. Blending dark humor with suspenseful mystery, the story explores themes of grief, accountability, and the thin line between fate and free will—delivered in Maxie Dara’s sharp, propulsive style that keeps the stakes escalating page by page.
