Elliott is settling into his new relationship with Steve, and looking for a new classic Chicago building to restore, when he meets Bruno Caesar, a new tenant in his elite apartment tower. Bruno is new to the rich life, having just won many millions in the lottery, and Elliott tries to resist his impulse to protect Bruno from the blatant and subtle con artists who flock around him. When Bruno - who told Elliott he'd never go out on his balcony, since he is afraid of heights - falls to his death from the building, Elliott finds himself trying to help the police put together what happened, with some help from his friend from the afterlife, John.

This is the third in the series of Elliott Smith mysteries, the first of which explained Elliott's chance "connection" with John, who had passed away in a hospital while he was nearby. John speaks to Elliott in his dreams and, in this case, tries to relay information from the deceased Bruno to help solve his murder. One of the more imaginative gay mystery series currently around, with relatable gay and straight characters, and definitely a favorite of mine. Four stars out of four.
