Synopsis

'The Strange Case of Cavendish' is a storyabout a spirited New York newspaperwoman caught between a shrewd lawyer, dangerous people, and Mexican bandits! The premise is clever and full of intriguing twists and turns.
Excerpt:
"For the second time that night, too, a picture rose before him, a picture of great plains, towering mountains, and open spaces that spoke the freedom and health of outdoor living. He had known that life once before, when he and Jim Westcott had prospected and hit the trail together, and its appeal to him now after three years of shallow sightseeing in the city was deeper than ever. "Good old Jim," he murmured, "struck pay-dirt at last only to lose it and he needs me. By George, I think I'll go."

    A perfect story for fans of Gaiman and Pratchett's GOOD OMENS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD'S END.
    Arthur Crazy is drunk and seeing ghosts.
    
    
    This is not a metaphor. The dead are walking and talking, and it doesn't matter that Arthur doesn't believe in them. They believe in him.
    
    
    Too drunk to recall how he stumbled upon his nascent power, Arthur is burdened with newfound responsibility: he's the only one who can hear the unfinished business of every dead guy in York, and he's the only one who can help.
    
    
    As forgotten legends and lost demons stir all over the cobbled streets and snickelways, Arthur finds himself at the centre of an unfolding mystery—a light in the desert, a fart at a funeral—and he is about to discover that an unfortunate surname isn't the only thing that makes him stand out.
    
    
    Arthur just wants to sober up, have a kebab, and go home, but his conscience is knocking loud and clear, demanding he open the damn door. He may not be the hero the dead need, but he's the one they're stuck with. Besides, one of those ghosts seems kind of cute.

    Will this killer scare him to death or kill him? 
    Lance Alexander Sr sat singing along with his car radio as he waited to pick up his son Jr. He was totally distracted by the music. He didn't see the man jump in his car til it was too late. "What are you doing in my car," said Lance noticing him. 
    "Drive!" said the stranger coldly. 
    "I'm waiting for my son hit the road, Jack!" said Lance he hadn't time for this guy. 
    "Forget him and drive," said the stranger pulling a gun on Lance. 
    "You don't want to do this mate!" warned Lance knowingly. 
    "do you think you're a magician?" asked the carjacker. 
    "I'm worse!" said Lance smiling darkly as he stared the car and sped off. Lance was worse than a magician they were heroes he was wanted by the police as a serial killer. 
    His son saw his car speed away. 
    "Okay I'll take myself home then!" said Jr shortly and disappeared into thin air teleporting home. 
    Meanwhile, in the car, the carjacker was terrified thinking he chose the wrong car to carjack. The owner was insane and had some sort of a death wish he was all over the road like a madman and had a devil-may-care attitude with the carjacker. 
    "Let me out of here? I'll not hurt you if you let me go," pleaded the carjacker who was petrified. 
    "You said you wanted me to drive," said Lance in a mock hurt tone as he locked the doors and drove on.
