The Impossible Promise (WILKINS PULP Book 8)
About
Eddie Lawson is dead. His friends have one last promise to keep.
The trouble is, keeping it means stealing his coffin.
Eddie spent his life refusing to stay where other people expected him to. Musician. Wanderer. Friend. Brother. To the people who loved him, he was a dozen different men, and death has suddenly given everyone the chance to decide which version was real.
Martin thinks he knows.
He knows what Eddie wanted. He knows the funeral is wrong. And he knows that if nobody else will honour the promise they made, he will.
So a coffin disappears.
What follows is a journey across four states, pursued by police, watched by a fascinated public, and complicated by the uncomfortable discovery that perhaps none of them knew Eddie quite as well as they thought.
Because the dead don’t get to correct the stories we tell about them.
And sometimes the promises we make to the people we love are impossible to keep.
Funny, poignant and quietly irreverent, The Impossible Promise is a story about friendship, grief, memory, and the strange things people do when saying goodbye isn’t enough.
