Publisher Description
CSI meets The Sixth Sense in this compelling horror/thriller that has already been optioned by the producers of The Dark Knight Returns!
JONAH MILLER, REVIVER. Able to wake the recently dead for testimony that is accepted in courts worldwide, the use of revivers has long been a routine part of police investigation. But now those who consider it blasphemy are in resurgence - well-funded and gaining ground, they threaten the work of Jonah and his colleagues in the Forensic Revival Service.
Jonah is still recovering from the injuries received after unearthing the existence of a creature bent on terrible destruction, a creature defeated at the cost of many lives. Then the discovery of a bizarrely mutilated corpse makes Jonah suspect that the victory was not as complete as it seemed, and that not all the evil was destroyed.
For in the darkness, shadows are waiting. And they are hungry . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Supernatural thrillers don't get much better than British author Patrick's assured debut, the first in a trilogy. Journalist Daniel Harker stumbles on the story of a lifetime when he pursues a tip about a fraudulent medium, Eleanor Preston, who shows the skeptical Harker that she can briefly revive the recently dead. Harker soon becomes a wealthy bestselling author by demonstrating to the world that certain people, who become known as revivers, have this uncanny ability. Those who have lost loved ones now have a chance to say a final goodbye, while the police can employ a reviver to get a murder victim to identify his or her killer. During one such conversation with a dead woman, forensic reviver Jonah Miller hears something unsettling from the woman's mouth that suggests dark forces at work. Patrick has carefully thought through the implications of this phenomenon, including religious objections and insurance issues, and maintains the suspense throughout.
