Jamie
Conklin has a gift: he can see – and talk
with – the dead – for a short time after they die. He doesn’t know why, and his mother urges him
to keep it to himself.
His
mother has a girlfriend who is a police officer and lives with them. Sometimes she is nice, sometimes they get
drunk and yell at each other, but it usually blows over.
One
day the wife of their neighbr dies, and Jamie talks to her and tells her
husband where to find her rings. That
leads to them talking about Jamie’s gifts, and the evelaiton from the professor
that the dead cannot lie – they have to tell the truth.
However,
when Jamie sees a criminal commit suicide, the person he meets after his death
is not the same – and he doesn’t go away.
Can the dead be possessed by demons?
Later
by
Stephen King gives the reader pauses to think and run with Jamie from danger.
