The dead don't lie. They just don't have long to talk. Vinny Deluca's gift is simple and brutal: after biological death, he has seventy-two hours to talk to the departed before they fade. As a retired Detroit homicide cop working the county coroner's office in small-town Arizona, he's learned to use those hours well. When fifteen-year-old Danny Reyes drops dead at a church cookout, the official ruling is cardiac arrest. But Danny's ghost is pressed into the corner of the exam room, shaking, terrified—and he has a name he doesn't want to say.

The dead don't lie. They also don't shut up. Vinny Deluca spent thirty years as a Detroit homicide detective. He buried his wife, closed his cases, and retired to Arizona to work in a county coroner's office where the biggest excitement was Carl's crossword puzzle debates and a coffee machine that only worked if you hit it. Then the dead started talking to him. It began after an ayahuasca ceremony his sister talked him into. Now every body on the table comes with a ghost standing next to it — confused, angry, or just annoyed about how they died. Vinny ignores them. He's got a system.
