The fifth book in the Jack Parlabane series, from author
Christopher Brookmyre. Do you believe in ghosts? Do we really live
on in some conscious form after we die, and is that form capable of
communicating with the world of the living?...Aye, right. That was
Jack Parlabane's stance on the matter, anyway. But this was before
he found himself in the more compromising position of being not
only dead himself, but worse: dead with an exclusive still to file.
From his position on high, Parlabane relates the events leading up
to his demise, largely concerning the efforts of charismatic
psychic Gabriel Lafayette to reconcile the scientific with the
spiritual by submitting to controlled laboratory tests. Parlabane
is brought in as an observer, due to his capacities as both a
sceptic and an expert on deception, but he soon finds his
certainties crumbling and his assumptions turned upside down as he
encounters phenomena for which he can deduce no rational
explanation. Perhaps, in a world in which he can find himself
elected rector of an esteemed Scottish university, anything truly
is possible. One thing he knows for certain, however: Death is not
the end - it's the ultimate undercover assignment.
