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.)

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
