Molly Coyle remembers well death’s cold embrace. The young private investigator perished on the job in Salem, Oregon and revived to assume a remarkable role she never asked for: executioner for a merciless angel of death. When she realizes her first assigned target may not deserve his punishment, she struggles to accept her revised existence as a cold-blooded killer.

With questionable assistance from her new companion, a spectral cat with a bad attitude, Molly begins investigating a pet abduction to maintain ties with the familiar life she lost. But the seemingly unrelated case brings new details to light, further softening her impression of the wolf shifter her employer expects her to assassinate.

Can Molly strike the delicate balance necessary to spare innocent lives, including her own?
