Summary

Winner of the 2023 Amby's 🏆 Best Mystery/Thriller Novel CARTER CHEVAL, the Anchor and lead investigative journalist on the After Dark TV program has everything to live for now, having won the love of his life LAYLA, yet finds himself dead in the HereAfter. Gunned down in a seemingly senseless shooting, he is shown a movie of his life on Earth which is all a lie. He enlists the help of a ghostly figure, TEACHER, to try and save his friends and family from a similar fate. So Carter, a ghost on a mission, from the HereAfter must use the information from his life movie to disentangle the web of lies surrounding his life and death. He must try to exact his revenge, and save his family and friends before the protection of Vatican Secrets results in them all prematurely joining him in the afterlife. His only chance to stop these evil forces is to get his recently revealed biological father, PETER, now a high priest and Keeper of Secrets in the Vatican, to kill for him. However, this seemingly impossible task becomes easier after an epic spirit battle between them. The possibility of Carter’s spirit being stuck in his father's body wasn't exactly part of the plan to make his father ultimately pay for any part he played in the conspiracy and perhaps even in Carter's own murder.

Prologue -  God and Other Bruises

It was the beginning of time; it was the end of time. For time is a construct of Earth; invented by man to try to make order and certainty from chaos. 

He blames others when he can't succeed. He blames the system for his shortcomings. He blames God if the failure is monumental. He cannot abide the thought that he is but an insignificant speck in the fabric of time.

A speck of dust perched on a grain of sand. A grain of sand being blown around on an ever - expanding beach. 

The horror is that that beach is but a speck on the Earth. The Earth but a speck in a galaxy dwarfed by its universe. The universe but a speck in the fabric of what he calls God. 

So which part of infinity is really to blame for a man's failures and monumental weaknesses, and what does it profit a man if he attains the whole world but suffers the loss of his spirit. 

A Tale Of Two Universes.

And so it was with Peter Margate and his neighbour Carter Cheval Ryder.

I'm on chapter 14. But whyyy, my God, why, would you spoil the entire book in the prologue! Some of the reveals with Amelia would have hit more viscerally!
