Summary:

Kevin Fahey was once a second-rate cop, a mediocre husband, and an absent father. But, ever since he was killed in a drug bust gone bad, he's been a lost soul, in limbo, searching, and hoping for redemption. Maggie Gunn, the detective who replaced Kevin on the force, is searching for the murderer of a nurse, in her own home, and the perpetrator of the abduction of a young boy from the park. Kevin helps Maggie, with her investigations, since he can go places she can't, and knows things she doesn't.

Library Journal Review

A trauma nurse is found dead with a gun in her hand. Maggie Gunn, the senior officer on the case, suspects murder. Across the street from the crime scene, a child is kidnapped, and Gunn tries to sort out the truth behind both crimes. Following Maggie in the corporal world and her dead partner in the spirit realm is a blast; it is touching to watch Fahey, a mediocre cop in life, find his way. VERDICT This second entry in McGee's paranormal series (after Desolate Angel) is a bit quirky but spot-on as a police procedural. A perfect gem for readers who like Mary Stanton's "Beaufort & Company" series and for those who want something different in their mysteries. (c) Copyright 2010.
