Skurrile Fälle, ein charmanter TOD und ein Jenseits in dem jeder das Nachleben bekommt, an das er vor seinem Tod geglaubt hat! Privatdetektiv Jack Gold blickt mit Ironie und Humor auf das "Leben" nach dem Tod wie es sein könnte - und hätte da den einen oder anderen Verbesserungsvorschlag. Es gibt Auftraggeber, auf die ich gut verzichten könnte. Aber wenn der TOD persönlich an die Tür klopft, sagt man nicht nein. Auch wenn das in der Regel kein gutes Zeichen ist. Mein Auftrag: Herausfinden, warum in Boston neuerdings Menschen auf absurde Art und Weise sterben.

Das Jenseits ist allerdings nicht für alle ein Paradies. Und wie es aussieht macht der Tod nicht alle gleich. Denn wer genug Silber hat, kann sich auch hier alles kaufen. Sogar ein neues Leben. Ist das der Grund dafür, dass Seelen spurlos aus dem Totenreich verschwinden und Kharon in Schwierigkeiten steckt?

La novella ens parla de la vida amorosa de Violeta qui, malgrat ser una órfena abandonada, sense casa, no perd la seua inocència. Es podria dir que es tracta d'un ser natural, raó per la qual és a la natura on és plenament lliure.
