A beautiful heiress seeks discreet salvation from a haunting past when mysterious harassment quickly escalates to murder and the kidnapping of a 12-year-old girl. Pushing the case into the realm of the surreal, the kidnapper has already been dead for five years. Private investigator Harry Gant wants no part of it. After a homemade bomb ended his police career and left him handicapped, his motivation to help others had dissolved quicker than the ice in his glass. However, Gant knows justice doesn't always come with a badge and he can't refuse a beautiful woman, nor a challenge. In Just As Dead, Harry Gant takes the law into his own hands and discovers there is murder after death.
