Ransom for the Soul - The Afterlife Brokers

When death is just paperwork, who processes the paperwork?Margaret Kingsley, a criminal psychologist and dedicated skeptic, never believed in the afterlife. But when her husband Tom dies suddenly, she finds herself drawn into a world of bureaucratic purgatory and corporate-controlled transitions.

With the help of a troubled detective and a disillusioned whistleblower, Margaret must navigate a conspiracy that reaches beyond the veil of death. She'll confront her own beliefs, challenge the boundaries between science and faith, and risk her very existence to expose the truth about Gray Places Transitions and the price they extract for salvation.
