Book Series: Ghost Detective

Double funerals are a rare thing in a tiny cemetery. Both deceased becoming ghosts even more so.

While resident ghosts Clothilde and Robert wait for their new compatriots to emerge from their caskets, the screams coming from below seem tinged with quite a bit more... anger than usual.

The promise of "till death do us part" takes on a whole new meaning with the fresh arrivals.

In French cemeteries, “perpetuité” only lasts for a hundred years. If the deceased’s family wants to keep their dead buried, they must pay the rent.

If not, the municipality will excavate the tomb to liberate the space for a new family.

After the latest excavation, Robert and Clothilde find themselves faced with a ghost much older than themselves — along with the daunting task of solving a century-old mystery.

Is it still possible to find eternal rest for their new friend?

This story is included in the collection Unfinished Business, Volume 2.

The ghosts are fully developed characters, as are the living people in the story. The plot is clever and involving, and the sense of time and place is richly conveyed.

This story was first published in Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Issue #14.

Solving crimes from the confines of a cemetery where no one can see or hear you can be difficult at the best of times. The victim’s ghost usually won’t remember who killed them, and the murder suspects can’t hear the ghost detective’s interrogation.

Even so, for the most part, Robert and Clothilde manage just fine.

However, discovering the name on a headstone does not belong to the body beneath it throws something of a wrench in their method.

How can they help the ghost find peace when the police aren’t even investigating the right murder?

This story is included in the collection Unfinished Business, Volume 2.

Waking up in a sealed casket on its way to be buried would freak anyone out. Who wouldn't scream themselves hoarse — and try to claw their way out?

Anyone who dies with unfinished business wakes up as a ghost. If this wasn't enough, the casket will only release them once they accept their new status, adding a whole new level of terror.

But today's arrival stays quiet until the last mourner, a young woman at the front of the funeral procession, finally leaves...

That is when the screaming starts.
