Texan William Kennedy can see and talk to ghosts – an ability which complicates his life immensely and threatens his relationships with family and friends. When his cousin calls him in about a ghost in the garage, Will finds he has a murderer to deal with.
Critical reception
In a review for SF Site, Donna McMahon concluded: "This is a real rarity -- an intelligent, sensitive and entertaining novel about what it means to be male. I think it will speak most strongly to men, but it should appeal to many readers, mainstream as well as genre."[1]
