Clean and Floss

Fans of Ghost Busters, Odd Thomas, and X-Files will enjoy this comedic paranormal novel. Nick Solace is a part-time Washington lobbyist who trades favors in gray areas of the law. As his other job, he cleans and flosses supernatural crime scenes for the Secret Branch of the Smithsonian. Their motto is: there’s no such thing as monsters. Nick’s corrupt and complacent world is turned upside down when a body dump goes horribly awry. Having the evidence reanimate forces him to call in a debt from Vincent—a musician, janitor, and disgraced missionary. Robert Cambridge actually vandalized the incredible DaVinci sketch depicted in this story, but my description of the events and people involved is completely fictionalized. This tale unfolded as an answer to the question: what would possess someone to commit an act like that? As I emphasized the word possess, this became a paranormal adventure.
