Eric Slingby left Scotland to make a name for himself. He didn't expect to end up working at a company that's an odd mix of crime investigation and the consequent handling of deceased victims. He really didn't expect to befriend a flamboyant redhead with a flair for the dramatics and murder, a smart ass intern who flirts with everything that moves, an uptight manager, said manager's German doppelgänger, a clumsy photographer, an antisocial pathologist and the creepy company owner. He really really didn't expect to be plunked in the middle of a gruesome murder mystery with said friends. And he really really really didn't expect to fall in love with Alan Humphries, the kind, brutally intelligent young man in the office next to his, who may have less time left than anyone thinks. Navigating life is hard, but now Eric has to handle a new country, a new job, new friends, a deadly mystery and his own sexuality. Good thing his life doesn't depend on it. Hopefully...
