  Dan Shamble, zombie P.I. 
  He’s a stiff detective, and he’s got stones! 
  The cases don’t solve themselves in the Unnatural Quarter, filled with ghosts, vampires, mummies, werewolves, and other mythical creatures. It takes an intrepid zombie detective to decipher mysteries, unravel conspiracies, track down cursed objects, and find time for a beer with his Best Human Friend at the Goblin Tavern. 
  Dan Shamble, zombie P.I., is back from the dead and back on the case in this new collection of eight wacky adventures—featuring a cyclops who lost his eyeball on a drunken bender, an Aztec mummy who wants revenge for too many parking tickets, a crawling hand accused of fingering expensive objects from a curio shop, a distraught mutant fly mother searching for her missing maggots, and the real boogeyman (an insurance salesman) being harassed by his ghoulish aunts. These cases have enough plot twists and stomach turns to keep you guessing, and chuckling, until the very end.
