I’m Jinx. As a private investigator, being a walking, talking lie detector is a useful skill - but let’s face it, it’s not normal. When I’m hired to find a missing university student, I hope to find her propped up at a bar - yet my gut tells me there’s more to this case than a party girl gone wild. She’s also being tracked by the implacable and oh-so-sexy Inspector Stone. Stone and I team up, and he shoves me into a realm where magic is real – a place where there are vampires and werewolves, dragons and trolls.

This book is for everyone who has lost a loved one or knows someone who has (which should include most people reading this). The topics of death, dying, funerals, and grief are typically as welcome as a time-share presentation at the conclusion of a really great deal you got on a vacation package at a resort. It is the necessary evil at the end of the fun. In Good Grief: Celebrate Your Life, Jason gently steers the listener into a different perspective on each of these topics and offers hope and counsel to people who are looking for answers in difficult situations.

Im Mittelpunkt steht ein gerissener, mit allen Wassern gewaschener Anwalt und geborener Machtpolitiker: Marcus Tullius Cicero.

The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this...should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency."

We come from different worlds. I'd have nothing to offer a wealthy man like that. So I ran. Hoping he never finds me.
