Main Plot Ideas

Book 1:
Book 2: Michael gets a call from his friend Ashley asking him to help her with something. Upon arriving at her apartment, he learns that she's being harassed by an old boyfriend-turned-stalker and wants him around for protection. Seems like an easy enough job, at least at first. But then he meets the man for himself, and realizes right away that his crazed, abnormal obsession isn't the only thing driving him anymore...
Book 3: Someone or something (it turns out to be a vengeful wraith) is killing junkies and drug dealers in Oakland. Michael has to find and stop this killer before it comes after him. Michael's knowledge of drugs, dealers, dope dens and how the Upstairs and Downstairs manipulate energy left behind by the dead are all expounded upon.
