Dying can bring out the best in people.
It can also bring out the worst of secrets.
If you want to know someone's dirty secrets, kill them.
It works every time.
Oliver "Tuck" Tucker, the dead detective, is back-not just for another case, but from the dead-or vice versa. It all starts when a Federal Agent is killed by a mysterious force in front of dozens of witnesses-including Angel, his historian wife, and Tuck. Among the many suspects is a dark, clandestine Federal agency responsible for advanced research and weaponry, a university doctoral candidate who won't stay dead, and the leader of a secret southern society bent on rekindling the Civil War. With the aid of a ten-year-old psychic and the spirit of Tuck's Civil War grandmother-Sally Elizabeth Mosby-Tuck has to stay one step ahead of the Feds who are hellbent on capturing him-alive? But through all this, what's a two-hundred-year-old lost fortune in gold got to do with dead agents, secret death rays, and rogue policemen?
