The dead can speak, but only one person can hear them.

And he is so screwed.


Gideon Black is your ordinary, run-of-the-mill corpse slinger, delivering dead bodies wherever they need to go.

Is it the best job in the world? No, but he's fine with the work. It pays the bills. And even though he has a questionable past, dead people don't judge.

At least until a corpse starts talking to him.

An incredibly
judgy corpse.

As if that's not enough excitement, he saves the life of a woman in Central Park -- who turns out to be a werewolf.

Suddenly, the world of the paranormal that he never knew existed won't leave him alone. Especially the werewolf and her antagonistic friend, a very angry, very drunk Unseelie Fae who seems to know a hell of a lot more about Gideon than he himself does.

Because apparently, Gideon isn't as human as he thought.

He is the DeathSpeaker. Whatever
that is.

And now, he's got a destiny he never asked for -- and a whole lot of powerful people who want him dead.

DEAD MAN TALKING is a snark-filled, action-packed urban fantasy adventure with heart.
