Debriefing
The DeadBy
Kerry Blaisdell
Hyacinth Finch is having a tough day. She's found a mysterious rock that has mystic powers. She had no idea that Demons, and also the brutal Sicilian Mob are in deadly pursuit to steal it from her. After the bad guys murder Hyacinth and her sister, they carry away the rock in triumph and with horrific intentions. Now dead Hyacinth starts intense negotiations with Archangel Michael, who is Debriefing The Dead. She wants to get her life back, in order to protect her innocent 7 year old nephew from a life growing up in the Mob. But in order to agree, Michael wants an ominous task completed in return.
After Hyacinth is reunited with her nephew Geordi. She's determined to keep him safe, and at the same time she has to begin a dangerous search ordered by Michael. She must recapture the rock by a meaningful and unmovable deadline, or risk dire consequences for failure. Demons, and the Mob have hidden it, are guarding it, and are on to her. She has to keep her mission secret from everyone. She gets some surprising help. Her gratitude is tempered by her uncertainty about what honestly motivates the aid from her mysterious neighbor Jason, and Eric who is a dead man who is stuck wandering the world unable to find his way to the after life.
Yes,
dead people populate the world. No, you can't see them, but other
dead people can see them and talk with them. Now that she's formerly
dead, Hyacinth enlists Eric's help. It does make things complicated
with Jason and Geordi who think she may be turning crazy, talking to
no one they can see. They travel to Turkey and begin a stealthy
search to rescue a specific, powerful rock despite powerful demons,
the Mob, the mystery of where the rock is hidden and what it will do.
Still, there is some time for the very human celebration of life,
humor, adventure, family, and even romantic attraction.
