A woman opens fire on the North Hollywood Police Precinct and is almost immediately shot dead by the L.A.P.D. Another woman throws herself off the edge of Santa Monica Pier. One is suicide, one is art... Welcome to the world of Charlie & Rose, everyone's favourite ghost detectives. Summoned once again from the afterlife, and cursed by death to only ever be on-lookers into the lives of the living, Charlie and his dog companion Rose do their best to protect the only woman Charlie has ever loved. Life, it seems, is much more complicated than death, and very quickly Charlie & Rose find themselves attempting to untangle a complicated and deadly web of suicide, art, drug gangs and the illegal sweat-shops of downtown Los Angeles. "Dead is Good is wickedly entertaining, hardboiled supernatural deftness."--Gary Phillips "Like 'The Wire' Meets 'The Tibetan Book of The Dead.' Highly Recommended."--Derek Farrell "This is the third in her hopefully continuing series of a dead man and a dead dog. I enjoyed this one even more. Hard to solve or prevent crime when you are dead and that's the brilliant originality of these books. Charles Stone, helped by the dog Rose tries to prevent someone murdering his late wife in LA. Starts with a bang and goes on surprising. Highly enjoyable and unique..."--Eric Idle "DEAD IS GOOD is as smart, funny, moving and original as anything I've read in a long time. Maybe even longer. Highly recommended."-- Dennis Palumbo, author of the Daniel Rinaldi Mysteries "I love these characters - even while we readers don't fully understand their circumstances, how they know where to go, what brings them to this world at certain times. Even while they don't have much better of an idea than we do (at least Charlie doesn't). I love how while they can't interact with their environment, the people they see and events they watch unfold, they are driven to find answers, driven to care about what's happening. There's something about that compulsion - and success they have in figuring things out - that matters more than when Bosch or Spenser or Chin and Smith put all the pieces together to thwart someone.... For a good mystery with oddly compelling characters, once again, look no further than Jo Perry."--The Irresonsible Reader.
