The Body Departed J R Rain

Two years ago, a man broke into James Blakely's apartment and shot him in his sleep, killing him instantly.
Dead and confused, James discovers he has a choice: he can move on into the afterlife, or he can stay behind. Unfortunately, since James has done some very bad things, moving on into the afterlife can only mean one thing: the fires of Hell. Or so he thinks. Forgoing eternal damnation, James instead chooses to haunt his old apartment building.
Now James' days are mostly spent visiting his daughter and ex-wife, welcoming new neighbors, and talking to those who can see the dead. It's a simple, peaceful life, but with each passing day, James discovers something more and more alarming: memories of his former life-and even his own identity-begin slipping away.
Faced with the prospect that he is rapidly deteriorating into a state of nothingness, James sets out to save his eternal soul. With the help of his daughter and a world-class medium, his journey to peace and forgiveness will not be an easy one, especially for a ghost who still wishes to be a father-and who fears he is destined for a fiery Hell as punishment for sins he cannot remember.
As James begins uncovering the devastating secret that connects his soul to earth, he will soon learn that even in death life has a few surprises...
