DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. Casper Renolds heard tales of the Netherworld every Holy Day as a boy. It was a mysterious place. A dark place. A space between spaces where the gods of Wayland tested a departed soul to prove it worthy of second life. He'd been schooled since infancy to reject the temptation to compete in the trials when Death finally came for him.But no one had ever told him what to do if he was murdered. When Lord Harlen has him killed to get to his sister, Kaelyn, Casper is spurred to face the Netherworld trials in hope of returning to stop his murderer's dastardly plans. But his choice sparks a centuries-old prophecy, and he soon finds himself in the middle of a war he wanted nothing to do with. For every step he takes in the changing landscapes of the Netherworld, his murderer takes another in the land of the living. Kaelyn's attempts to keep Harlen at bay will only work for so long. As Casper pits his wit, strength, and courage against the god of death, he unravels a conspiracy at the heart of his murder that could spell doom for all of Wayland. He must beat his trials, thwart his murderer, and embrace his destiny, or everything will be destroyed. Can Casper defeat Death in time? Or will his soul be lost forever?Filled with monsters, mayhem, and magic, Netherworld is a can't-miss fantasy adventure about finding hope in the face of uncertainty.

A thrilling adventure about an actress-turned-detective and the murder that shaped her career. In an America ravaged by the Great Depression, nothing can keep bubbly and confident Beatrice Adams down. Not even the dead body that falls out of her hotel room closet one stormy night in June of 1930. With a power outage and the phone lines down, it's up to Beatrice and her less adventurous cousin to solve the case, and there is no shortage of suspects. Was it the jealous, grudge-holding coworker who offed poor Holly Albright? Or perhaps the playboy porter with secrets hidden behind his winning smile? And then there's the handsome and helpful doctor who inserts himself all too willingly into the case, putting Beatrice at war with herself. Any one of them could have strangled Holly, and all of them have something to hide. But only one of them is the killer, and the killer is watching Beatrice closely. Can she solve the case before it's too late? Or will the next murder be her own?
