Title: The Terminals
Subtitle: Spark
Description: *Sometimes the dead don’t want to talk. You need Terminals to make them.*

Terminals solve crimes in this realm by investigating them in the next.

Lt. Col. Christine Kurzow, fresh from a failed suicide attempt after she cost the lives of eleven of her soldiers because she didn’t take out one person, is recruited into the covert unit of Terminals as a handler. It's an easy sell. If she's really determined to die, it’s a chance to give her death meaning.

But her first case—convincing a monk to chase Hillar the Killer into the afterlife to find the location of a missing bus and the eleven children it carried—has her wondering how to make a dead psychopath talk.

Christine must follow the clues sent back by the shotgun-toting monk, who tracks Hillar through the seven deeps of hell, so she can find the children before it’s too late. Maybe this time killing a man will give Christine a reason to live.
