Publisher's summary

"...propulsive action, an unforgettable lead, unexpectred romance - a must-read."
- KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred review)

"...these intoxicating books are like nothing you've read before."

Dive into sparkling prose and low-key snark with Asher Gale, forgery investigator and "recovering" addict, in an art colony where supernatural forgeries have been killing people, and ghosts have become inconveniently ... real.

Asher's just minding his crazy from a beachside barstool when the first ghost appears, for help with her save-the-world problems. But Asher's got attention span issues and you'd want his help saving the world only-as-a-last-resort. So right away you feel sorry for the ghost. She's obviously desperate ...

THE PLOT TWISTS ... so many. It's a five-volume story arc as unpredictable as a drunk on a tightrope. You just don't know which way it's going to fall ...

THE CHARACTER POV ... Asher's what they call a "massively dysfunctional narrator," which is similar to an "unreliable narrator" but way worse. We only see the world through Asher's eyes and his eyes are literally broken. Plus he has congenital craziness and a drunken disinterest in responsibility. For all of which everyone absolutely loves him.

THE SCOPE ... wildly epic. What starts in Book One as an offbeat amateur sleuth-mystery ends in Book Five in malevolent, supernatural apocalypse. Like Odd Thomas married LOTR on acid in Vegas. It's wild but feels real, it's a thrilling, funny, sweeps-you-up epic.

THE SERIES BEGINS ... when wealthy art dealer Waylon Goodman calls, and Asher shows up expecting a forgery. Instead, his dysfunctional eyes discover Waylon's daughter, dead, covered in “invisible" ultraviolet paint. He's drawn into an investigation.

When the girl's (ultraviolet) ghost starts following him, Asher’s increasingly desperate questions send him back to Skysill Beach, the town where he grew up crazy, to start peeling away layers of greed, violence, and supernatural forgery. Soon he's stumbling onto murders, falling for a beautiful psychic, growing well-known to the police, and - briefly - becoming a ghost himself. (It's that kind of series.)

The ghosts have a world-shattering problem they want him to fix. But Asher has many, many problems of his own already - like, why did his long-vanished parents abandon him? Why is he the only painter who can leave Skysill Beach? Why is his personality split straight down the middle? The ghost problems will have to wait - if he can't solve his own problems time itself is going to break. Then the light goes out. Everywhere...
