The Escape Clause

A zombie, a vampire and their probate attorney.
Retired from the movie business, Clay Douglas thought he was having one of those days, until he woke up in a morgue looking very zombie-like. Or is the correct term zombie-adjacent? His unlucky day turned into a troublesome few weeks, all thanks to his new companion, Anuchand Channer, the aloof and confounding stranger who claims responsibility for Clay’s condition. And who pledged to make things right. Somehow.
Shunned by family and society, Clay tries to obtain some semblance of normalcy by attempting to regain ownership of his property before it is disbursed after the reading of his Will. To accomplish this, Clay enlists the expert, yet reluctant, help of the Probate King of Beverly Hills, Ernesh Hamilton. One problem though. Mr. Hamilton is experienced in legally resurrecting his clients, not resurrecting them in the biblical sense.
Another problem is that Anuchand Channer has several off-putting traits, one of which is that he may be a really old vampire. The jury is still out on that.
As the trio stumbles upon an intricate criminal conspiracy, people die under mysterious circumstances, greed and betrayal lurch from the shadows and Clay’s undead predicament is steadily revealed to be rather “sciencey” in nature.
Needless to say, things are not tranquil in Tinsel Town.
