Hailed by critics as a master storyteller ( The Washington Post ), Picoult once again pushes herself, and consequently the reader, to think about the unthinkable (Denver Post).
Thus begins Jodi Picoult\'s enthralling and ultimately astonishing story of love, fate, and a crime of passion.
But in Comtosook, the only discovery Ross can lay claim to is that of Lia Beaumont, a skittish, mysterious woman who, like Ross, is on a search for something beyond the boundary separating life and death.
Ross now lives only for the moment he might once again encounter the woman he loves.
Yet despite his best efforts, life clings to him and pulls him ever deeper into the empty existence he cannot bear since his fianc e\'s death in a car crash eight years ago.
He\'s been mugged in New York City and struck by lightning in a calm country field.
He\'s driven his car off a bridge into a lake.
Enter Ross Wakeman, a suicidal drifter who has put himself in mortal danger time and again.
When odd, supernatural events plague the town of Comtosook, a ghost hunter is hired by the developer to help convince the residents that there\'s nothing spiritual about the property.
