The Mortician

A DARK, OFFBEAT & ECCENTRIC NOVEL

David Livingstone takes the train to Paris to do a favor for an old friend: Hector, a charming and elusive actor whose little “side business” needs a discreet courier. David’s mission: hand a small taped-up box to a certain Mr. Kastel.

From the moment he rings the wrong doorbell, nothing goes as planned. What follows are forty-eight hours of escalating chaos! David finds himself translating for gangsters, transporting human organs in ice coolers, breaking into a private clinic where a minister’s son awaits surgery, and fleeing from both cops and Moldovian thugs all while falling madly in love with Libertad, a magnetic woman who may not be who she claims to be.

At the heart of this whirlwind, a name that terrifies everyone and identifies no one: “The Mortician”. Is it Kastel? Hector? Someone else? Every time David thinks he has found the mastermind behind the chaos, the ground shifts—revealing new players, new deceptions, and a deeper game.
