A detective is stuck in the human world after being murdered or "committing suicide" as the people in the city say. People can't hear or see him but he's literally struck a deal with the Devil. If he can solve his own murder, he can return to the human world in his human form. If he can't, he will be whisked away to face the worst afterlife anyone's ever experienced.
(There's swearing in this. I know there's a lot worse on this site but I know there's going to be someone who will say, "Oh, but the author didn't tell me about the character's foul mouth!" So here you go. Swearing warning.)All Rights Reserved
