Death Is But the Beginning

Although "Death Is But the Beginning" is a work of fiction, it is meant to bring to light the suffering and the hidden torture of abused and battered husbands. The fear or the embarrassment of admitting the physical abuse by the opposite sex compels these men to live their entire lives under the control of a domineering spouse. Danny Dillon is an abused husband who is driven to the brink of madness when he believes his enslaving wife has orchestrated his father's kidnapping. When a futile attempt to forcefully extract information from her goes wrong, he enlists the help of Barry Leonard, a man who communicates with the dead. Together, Danny, Barry, and Schmedly, a dog with a sixth sense, embark on a journey into the Deep South, searching for his missing father. But digging too deep into the afterlife can be dangerous - it could get you killed.
