Description

Three muffled thuds ring from the partially filled grave of the newly-wed girl. Only the verger hears them and he dismisses the noise as his imagination. But over the next few days others also hear faint sounds. An exhumation order is granted. Reporter Kate Hemingway sneaks into the small suburban churchyard when the coffin is opened, and the scene she witnesses is so horrific she can never forget it. Kate finds herself caught up in a sinister and macabre cover-up. At the centre is a respected anaesthetist who has a secret obsession. He believes people can exist outside their bodies and that if he can prove it, he will provide the answer to the question: is there life after death?

Several people hear thumping coming from a recently occupied grave but all think they must be imagining it until they finally exhume the body. Rest of the story is the life of the man who put her there and the woman who is covering the story as a journalist. Pretty gruesome in places. Makes the

abnormal seem perfectly acceptable, is it true what can be done with surgical drugs? Well worth the quid I paid for it from Asda!

An interesting idea, though I found this novel rather weak alongside Peter James's later works and in particular the Roy Grace series.
