A dead Delaware detective uses his ghostly perspective to stop a deranged serial killer from striking again in this "police procedural with a twist" (Kirkus Reviews).

Kevin Fahey was a second-rate cop and a lousy father. Following his untimely death, he roams the world in search of other lost souls. At the Holloway Institute for Mental Health in Delaware, he's drawn to the troubled patients who wander the lonely rooms and corridors. But when a young girl is brutally murdered—seemingly by a convicted serial killer locked up inside the institute—he embarks on a haunting investigation.

As Fahey joins the police in tracing the killer's steps, he must also confront his own personal demons—because one of his sons has joined the troubled youths at Holloway. And when the killing continues, this time on the grounds of the mental hospital itself, there is a very real possibility that his son's life is in danger. Fahey must find a way to protect those he loves and stop a man he knows to be, quite literally, pure evil.
