It's a surreal smuggling operation across the boundaries of life and death in the latest moody mystery from award-winning graphic novelists Peter and Maria Hoey. In perpetuity, the Afterlife is just as the ancient Greeks imagined: an endless twilight where time stands still and shades have nowhere to go. For Jim, that means long shifts at a gas station, with only crossword puzzles and cigarettes to break the tedium. One day, two criminal shades from Jim's past show up at the gas station and his existence takes a dangerous turn. They've tracked him down for something he didn't know he had: the ability to cross back into the living world. It's a rare gift, and they intend to exploit it. Just as Jim crosses back into sunny California, he meets Olivia, who is dying on an Echo Park sidewalk - and pulls her back from the edge of death, striking a connection that will run deeper than either can imagine.
