Ante Up, DunMuller's Mansion Series, Book Two, Max's Story:
Sometimes it's not why, but how one dies, that keeps the soul from moving on to the next realm. At twelve-years-old, Max McCarty, meets two spirits and learns that he has the ability to see, and communicate with the dead. Befriending the two deceased soldiers, he becomes a regular player in their ghostly poker games and a willing victim to their cheating.

Royce Carter, another spiritual guide, mentors Max on how to use his abilities. Through his mentor-ship, he's asked to work with the police regarding a haunting and realizes how important his gift can assist others.

His clients are usually deceased, but lately he has a small coma victim seeking him out? She needs help, but at five, she doesn't know why or how to fix her situation. Max, with the help of Royce and his poker pals, hopes to unravel her predicament. A situation best brought to the authorities with solid evidence.

Adding to this, Max is noticing changes within himself, as well.
