An amazingly brilliant work of horror crime that reads shockingly well as a complete series. Jackson Winters is a master thief. That is, until a job goes wrong, kills his crew, and lands him in jail. But when a rich collector who wants to enlist his services breaks him out, Jackson finds himself with a very strange assignment.

His job? Steal a ghost from a haunted house.

Ahem, I said, STEAL A GHOST FROM A HAUNTED HOUSE!!!!!

Do you understand how frigging rad that is? I read that premise and bought Volume One in the same minute. Later volumes would pit Jackson against very different foes and goals, building to a solid and fantastic ending that still rings true with me. Jackson and his female ghost cohort, Anderson Lake, as well as characters like Trick and Markus, are immediately memorable and empathetic (for the most part). Missing out on this one would be"¦a crime.
