Secrets Of The Dead

Bill Edgar is a private investigator from Australia's Gold Coast who's become know internationally as "The Coffin Confessor".

His popularity soared when his very strange side hustle hit headlines all over the world. Bill says the deceased pay him (before they die) to rock up at their funerals and deliver previously-unsaid "truth bombs" to loved ones.

But, what the media blitz about Bill Edgar didn't uncover was the secret he's been keeping all of his life — until now.
