Publisher's Description
What if you could visit heaven and hell, traveling when and wherever you wish . . . without ever dying? What if your teenage daughter, the joy of your life, had died a tragic death and you discovered a way to visit her? What if there were people and beings, on both sides of the grave, who want to stop your return? These are the questions facing novelist David Kauffman. As a single parent he is devastated when his young daughter meets an untimely death. Desperate to contact her, he meets Gita Patekar, a beautiful and committed Christian with a scarred and shame-ridden past. She works for 'Life After Life'---an organization dedicated to tracking and recording the experiences of the soul once it leaves the body. Despite Gita's warnings that God is opposed to contacting the dead, David uses the organization's computer to try to find his daughter. In the process they discover Gita's organization has some very deep and dark secrets. A suspense-filled game of cat and mouse begins---both on earth and beyond the grave---as the couple work together, fall in love, and struggle to expose the truth . . . until they come face to face with the ultimate Love and Truth.

Publisher's Weekly
The prolific Myers steadily plugs along, offering competent novels such as
this one, which provides glimpses of heaven while exploring the darker side of
the supernatural. David Kauffman is a man consumed by grief. His lovely
teenage daughter, Emily, has recently committed suicide, or so it seems, until
Kauffman finds himself looking into her remarkable violet-blue eyes-in the
face of another person. His obsession to discover what really happened to
Emily will literally take him to hell and back. David finds an unlikely ally
in Dr. Gita Patekar, a thanatologist from Nepal (she studies death and dying).
She's employed by the Life After Life program, which claims to be running a
series of studies designed to scientifically track the soul after death. Yet
something malevolent lurks beneath the surface since, paradoxically, the
search for longevity leads to a loss of respect for human life. As David
learns that his obsessive love can obliterate his need for personal faith,
Gita discovers her need to learn to love, defying her hyperdependence on
logic. Myers likes to flirt with disturbing violence (animal lovers will
cringe when a bunny is brutalized), but he stops just short of offending his
conservative Christian readers. He also includes dialogue supporting the
claims of Jesus Christ, which this same audience will appreciate. As usual,
Myers fans will not be disappointed. (Sept.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business
