"Death was a good place to hide. Ninety-nine percent of the reported dead stayed dead, but occasionally someone played possum. At the Norval Department of Marketing Necrology (NDMN), Raphael’s job was to find his possum’s pulse, no matter how faint."
The above is the first paragraph of my new novel, End Man, a Speculative Mystery set in Los Angeles in the 2030s. .I've posted chapters of End Man on Wattpad, a free reading site. If the synopsis interests you, please check it out. https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/27785... Synopsis: Afflicted with dromophobia, the fear of crossing streets, 26-year-old Raphael Lennon must live out his life in the one square mile that surrounds his Los Angeles home. Fortunately, the area provides everything an artistically sensitive person needs, including a job at Norval, an oddball company that tracks and markets the online remains of the deceased. Raphael's specialty is unearthing "possums," people faking their deaths. His new assignment is Jason Klaes, an allegedly dead physicist who is perhaps creating afterlives for the Internet-era deceased based on their social media content. Raphael must break out of his phobic prison to solve the Klaes Case and thwart his company's entry into a chilling spin-off of its product. Thanks, Alex
