"I knew it was gonna be one crazy day, when the dame walked into my office. Through the wall. From next door's deli storeroom."
Jonathan P. Rissole has been dead for six months. And he's finding it a real yawn. Clouds, harps and angelic babes are overrated - and he's been thrown out of the heavenly choir for singing off-key, listening to the melody in his own spirit, playing the bongos...
He's bored. Bored enough to come back down to Earth, and set up his own side-hustle as a private dick. Of course, it would be easier to get a small business venture up and running, if he was visible.
Audible.
Not a ghost.
Still, he's not about to let that stop him. Supernatural misdeeds are afoot. And the world needs a Ghost Dick, a Ghost Dick like Jonathan...

***
Newly widowed housewife Melody Scott needs to earn some major cash, fast. When her bright and busy children learn that a priceless ruby bracelet has been stolen and a six-figure reward is being offered, they convince her to try to do what the police, museum security, and the best private investigators have failed to do. Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family.
The Widow, Melody Scott is a 2021 Watty Award Winner!
