Closure

A dead nine-year-old girl. An illicit magical tool. He needs both, as his mother is unknowingly killing him...
Necroti Whicker Campbell’s mother is lost in her grief over recent deaths in the family. She’s feeding off his life force, depleting him. After a year, he’s reached his point of failure. With only a month’s worth of strength remaining, he devises a plan to save himself and his mother using a recently deceased nine-year-old girl, an illegal-to-possess Hatcher key, and the help of his morally challenged mentor. But from the start, his plan begins to unravel.

To her shock, Investigator Suzin Rollings’s well of telepati ability has run dry. With mandatory retirement looming, she faces a bleak, uncertain future, alone and adrift. Then she’s tasked with her last case: video evidence exposes the theft of a nine-year-old girl’s body from her casket the morning of her funeral. Determined to end with an unquestioned success, she’s soon on the trail of two necroti who have violated every oath they’ve sworn to uphold.

In five days, their paths will collide and redefine what it means to be alive...
