Title: Redeeming the dead
Description: "Redeeming the Dead tells the story of Winchester Young, a Mormon PI, and his Seminole Indian sidekick. It is full of rare insights into Mormon theology as well as telling insider details into the private investigative business. The investigation begins when Winchester's client approaches him to find her sister who disappeared twenty-five years earlier in St. Augustine, Florida. The client received a mysterious fax requesting she pay $50,000 cash and Charon, the sender of the fax, will take her to her missing sister. But it has to be done within seven days or the sister "will be gone forever." Winchester risks jail time, fights though a midnight tropical storm, is buried alive, and explores 10,000-year-old ancient Timucuan ruins to expose the genesis behind multiple murders. Between the lines of the ratcheting plot, Redeeming examines the Mormon belief of where spirits of the deceased reside and if they have the ability to communicate with the living. The book also explores the Mormon doctrine of a marriage union suspended by death but sealed for eternity. Redeeming the Dead is not a Mormon book. It's a PI mystery. It does weave in at appropriate times, Winchester's beliefs about his religion, both pro and con."--Amazon.com.
