Book Description
Dan can see ghosts. See them, speak to them, and sometimes help them – for a price. Dan and his ghostly sidekick Simon (who took a bullet in the brain a few hundred years ago) help the unquiet dead solve their problems and move on to wherever they go. But when they take on the case of a teenage shoplifter, things start to spin out of control. Soon Dan is up against a very dangerous and very badly dressed gangster, and he’s also got to cope with a rather unusual vicar, the ghost of a Victorian stage magician who cut off his own head (don’t ask) and a spot of grave robbing. It’s all in a night’s work…

A funny all-action adventure with creepy but non-terrifying characters. ― Irish Examiner
