MYSTERY  a"Kathy Valence is forty-two, mid-divorce, and pregnant with her ex's baby. She's also a modern-day grim reaper employed by S.C.Y.T.H.E. (Secure Collection, Yielding, and Transportation of Human Essences) but frankly that's the easiest part of her life right now. Or at least it was, until one of her clients' souls went missing. When she finally tracks down seventeen-year-old Conner Ortiz, he angrily denies he died of natural causes, despite what his file says. He's certain that someone at S.C.Y.T.H.E. took his life instead of his soul, and he pressures Kathy to find out who and why. With only forty-five days to figure out what happened to Conner and help him move on, Kathy is forced to rely on the help of her retired mentor, her almost ex-husband, and even Conner himself before the boy's soul becomes stuck on Earth as a ghost forever. But one wrong move could cost Kathy her job, not to mention her life"-- Provided by publisher1 aGrim Reaper (Symbolic character) vFiction20aPregnant women vFiction20aTeenagers vFiction20aSoul vFiction 7aCozy mysteries Detective and mystery fiction  7aParanormal fiction. 0aA S.C.Y.T.H.E. mystery
