Description

Investigative reporter Damon Fitzgerald is hot on the heels of the story of his career when he is strangled to death in his own apartment. But what kind of reporter lets a little thing like death keep him from a good story? Steven Cooper, who had a dead drag queen providing answers in his first mystery (With You in Spirit) and an unruly penis directing the action in his second (Saving Valencia), is no stranger to unusual plot twists. In Deadline he once again combines thrills, slapstick and the supernatural in the story of a man intent on solving his own murder!
