Intrepid adventurer, Dayson Snow, has spent his life battling the greed of multinational corporations. When he arrives in Washington, DC with his long-time love, the spirited Yumi Mihara, he finds himself in a race to prevent a humanitarian crisis in Africa. But Dayson's plans go awry when he accidentally crosses paths in DC with hired killer Jean LaFourche, the recent recipient of a strange and macabre miracle... and in his attempt to stop LaFourche's latest assassination, Dayson pays with his life. But his real troubles have only begun...Dayson awakens in an Afterlife that's in even worse shape than the world he left behind, where he's forced to serve the whims of the citizens of Heaven, even as their high kingdom faces an alarming crisis: Legions of the Damned have been mysteriously loosed upon Creation, and the upper realms are increasingly desperate. Hoping that if he can somehow put right the problem he might possibly win back his old life and return to Yumi, Dayson agrees to lead a band of heavenly comrades on a harrowing descent into Hell. But when the troupe sets off on their perilous and terrifying journey, they discover an Underworld unlike anything ever imagined... And as Dayson descends ever deeper into Hell, toward its darkest and most violent heart -- fighting his own personal demons, and sensing his memories of Yumi and their love together beginning to dissolve within him -- he makes a shocking discovery... one in which the fate of every soul that has ever lived lies in the balance. (The above synopsis refers to all three volumes of String of Pearls.) less
