He's been dead for five years. She just stole the key to Heaven. And somehow, this is his case.
New York City, 1953.
Private investigator Jack Graves thought dying would put an end to difficult clients. Instead, Heaven has given him the strangest assignment of either of his lives.
A brilliant physicist named Dr. Evelyn Bell has done the impossible. On her one-hundredth birthday in 2053, she found a way into Heaven, stole Saint Peter's Key, and escaped a century into the past. Now the gates of Heaven are locked, the dead are piling up outside, and Jack has been sent back among the living to find her and recover what she stole.
But Evelyn isn't looking for immortality. She doesn't want power, riches, or a chance to rewrite history.
She wants five minutes.
Five minutes with the father she never knew-a young American soldier destined to die in Korea only minutes before the ceasefire. And Evelyn is willing to hold Heaven itself hostage to get them.
Jack's investigation takes him through rain-soaked Manhattan streets, smoky nightclubs, crooked cops, gangsters, impossible science, old family wounds, and a mystery where solving the crime may be easier than deciding what justice actually means.
Blending hardboiled 1950s noir, supernatural mystery, time travel, dark humor, and an emotional story of fathers and daughters, The Last Case Before Heaven asks one dangerous question:
If mercy is undeserved, is it still mercy?
