Between
the covers of this collection of short mysteries,

the murder victims after the souls have been wrenched from their bodies. You'll
step into the lives of the realistic detectives and everyday citizens who are
tasked with bringing the killers to justice. You'll grow to love these
characters and root for them as they sift through lies, suspects, and clues in
their quest for the truth. Finally, you'll meet the killers themselves. You'll
learn why they crossed over to the dark side and committed the ultimate crime of
violence. If you like mystery and suspense, you'll like what you find in this
collection and--after reading it--you'll be happy that you are not Absent the
Soul.

Adams spent his entire police career protecting citizens from crime and bringing
criminals to justice. When violence comes to his doorsteps in the form of his
wife's murder, he is placed on the sidelines and not allowed to participate in
the investigation. However, Joe is not interested in investigating--he only
wants revenge. Will he allow the same justice that he serves to take its course,
or will he take matters into his trigger finger?
