Description
He doesn't do murders. That's his only rule. Being a psychic has never worked out in Jim Halliday's favor. His involuntary communications with the dead only complicate things when he's trying to keep a job, to deal with his rationalist father, to get a girlfriend, or to simply shop for groceries. He'll do it if he has to, but not if it involves murder victims. He tried it once, and it didn't work out. Then one day Jim meets a girl who tells him she was killed by Zachariah Searcy, the culprit from the last murder case Jim tried to deal with. Thanks to Jim, Searcy has been in prison for years - at a grave price that haunts Jim to this day. Now Searcy's escape and subsequent quest for revenge finally force Jim to uncover the mysteries behind his ability, to confront the consequences of his past, and to get his life together, for crying out loud.
