Bella Ransom returns for her greatest adventure: to find the First Temple of the Hebrews and see if it can bring peace into the world. No dogs die in this one, promise.

Three months ago, Anna Marks had a home, a country, a husband, and a future. Now, all she has is two suitcases, a laptop computer and a beagle called Frankly. Together, they are on their way from Denver, Colorado to Spain, to live for seven months in a tiny village in the mountains of Granada. And this is 1999–before wireless internet and ever-present mobile phones–so it will be a complete and lonely exile on foreign soil, made purely because of Anna’s love for her constant companion of ten furry years.

Rev. Phaedra Amabel Velvet Ransom (who doesn’t quite deserve such a terrible name) is about to discover that there truly is war in Heaven as well as on Earth. Bella is either utterly crazy or a soul-restorer who travels to the afterlife each night in an ancient Fiat Panda with her dead brother Jon. Assuming the latter, she now has a special assistant, a spirit hound who will lead her into even more incredible adventures—and the utter ridiculousness of falling in love with a ghost.

Irreverent Reverends Mark Townsend and Maggy Whitehouse call out kindergarten religion and call for a return to love.

Waking up dead was always going to be a life-changer… even if the being dead bit didn’t last all that long. For Bella Ransom, life began again in the mortuary; a head injury had erased pretty much all of who she thought she was and what she believed. This new existence was one where her dead brother turned up every night to take her back into the afterlife to retrieve lost souls, where she could see and hear angels and where she turned out, rather embarrassingly, to be in love with a Bishop.
