An Uncommon Alliance

A small community is shaken when seven-year old Sadie Miller is abducted from her front yard and her body is found days later. The police have no clues and no suspects. Sadie's grieving uncle, John Weston, owner of Weston Funeral Home, feels helpless and is desperate for answers. A mysterious stranger appears in the mortuary days later claiming it wasn't the child's time to die; she was supposed to live to be an old woman and make significant contributions to humanity during her life.
When John questions how the stranger could know such specific details, the stranger replies, "I am Death." John naturally assumes the stranger is a kook. Such a claim is nothing short of preposterous yet, with one touch, John is convinced. He learns that Death knows the identity of Sadie's killer but cannot tell John who it is. Instead, over the course of numerous visits, he provides clues that will help lead John to the killer.
But is John clever enough to figure them out before the killer can strike again?
