Harper Connelly had a lucky escape when she was hit by lightning: shedidn't die. But sometimes she wishes she had died, because the lightningstrike left her with an unusual talent: she can find dead people - andthat's not always comfortable. Everyone wants to know how she does it:it's a little like hearing a bee droning inside her head, or maybe the popof a Geiger counter, a persistent, irregular noise that increases instrength as she gets closer. It's almost electric: a buzzing all throughher body, and the fresher the corpse, the more intense the buzz.Harper and her brother Tolliver make their living from finding the dead,for desperate parents, worried friends . . . and police departments whohave nowhere else to look. They may not believe in her abilities, butsometimes the proof is just too much for even the most sceptical of policechiefs to deny.But it's not always easy for someone like Harper, for the dead *want* tobe found - and too often, finding the body doesn't bring closure; it opensa whole new can of worms.
