Detective Oliver Tucker never knew how perilous dying was until he stumbled onto William Mendelson-murdered in a hidden vault where Egyptian relics and World War II secrets were once stashed. Now, those relics are missing. The secrets are coming out. The dead are talking.
Tuck, the detective for the dead-the Gumshoe Ghost-is pulled into the case by the spirit of a World War II Office of Strategic Services operative with his own agenda. OSS Captain Ollie Tucker I-Tuck's namesake-knows the past is catching up to the survivors of an Egyptian spy ring from more than seventy years ago. With the help of his beautiful and brilliant wife, Angel, and his gruff former partner, Detective Bear Braddock, Tuck must unravel a tale of spies, murderers, and thieves.
As Tuck's case unfolds, he confronts the growing distance between his death and Angel's life-and the solution is a killer of its own.
