The sequel to Passing Through… Afterlife counseling supervisor Eugenia Kratt has a problem. Jane Doe, an amnesiac client, insists she is not dead. Eugenia isn't buying it. It's called "afterlife" for a reason. Hoping to avoid a tangle of red tape, she gives counselor Kate Smith permission to return to the living world and hire an investigator. Sean Callahan knows he shouldn't take the case. He still hasn't recovered from the first time this strange kind of investigation drew him in. But he could use the money, and Kate Smith is upfront about who she is and what she needs. No secrets, she promises. Seeing nothing but honesty in her blue eyes, he agrees to help. As Kate works the problem with Callahan, Eugenia struggles to make the pieces fit. When Kate doesn't return as planned, Eugenia decides to see for herself what's afoot. In the space between life and death, truth and lies, she begins to wonder…is Jane Doe's missing identity the only complication, or are darker, more dangerous motivations at work?
