Synopsis

An ancient emperor’s spirit – it wants to live forever in this modern world. A Half Immortal with Supernormal Power and her team need to stop it.
In Bama, a flying head has been killing men and sucking out their vital essence. Is this the work of a female ghoul? Or the spirit of Qin Shihuangdi, the cruel First Qin Dynasty Emperor of ancient China?	The spirit has possessed Bama’s premier for three years. Now it seeks a younger body to possess and has chosen the premier’s eldest son.	Dreamy Kim woke up from a lightning strike-induced coma and assumes her role as a Half Immortal with Supernormal Power. She and her semi-divine animal assistants – a shrewd, telepathic cat and a psychic talking parakeet – are recruited to stop the evil spirit. She is also assisted by a practical private investigator. In the course of her investigation, Kim has to interview a ghost. She needs to unseal the memory of the only witness of a spirit summoning ritual. She must also find the missing yang soul of the premier. And in a spy-vs-spy game, she finds out that things don’t always turn out as planned…

    "The Shadow on the Spark" is a riveting early 20th-century detective drama that blends medical intrigue, courtroom suspense, and the unrelenting pursuit of truth. When esteemed physician Dr. Milton Jarvis returns from Europe, he’s greeted not by celebration—but by the obituary of his closest friend, banker Jim Craighead. 
    Initially ruled an accident caused by shock from surgery, Craighead’s death doesn’t sit right with Dr. Jarvis. His instincts—and scientific expertise—lead him to probe deeper into a tangled web of misdirection, manipulation, and a sinister prescription. At the center lies Tessie Prettyman, a seemingly innocent young woman caught between love, loyalty, and a haunting connection to a criminal underworld. 
    Through razor-sharp deduction and groundbreaking forensic insight, Jarvis challenges the assumptions of an entire courtroom in a dramatic revelation that will shake even the most seasoned mystery fans. 
    Perfect for listeners who love Golden Age mysteries, scientific sleuthing, and edge-of-your-seat courtroom climaxes.
