The famous writer and his books had been the only reason Tia’s company had been able to keep its head above water, and just barely at that. The day Jamie found out that his mother had broken her promise though, a panicked Tia had picked him up from school, and her girlfriend, NYPD Detective Liz Dutton, had driven them all out to the remote cottage belonging to bestselling author Regis Thomas. This was when Tia realized that her son’s unusual gift can be used for good or ill, and that if anyone ever found out, it could put his life in danger. And as it turns out, when asked a question, the dead can’t lie. The two of them have kept his special abilities a secret ever since their neighbor’s wife died, when Jamie discovered that not only can he see the lingering spirits of the recently deceased, but he can speak to them as well. This is his story of his childhood growing up raised by single mom Tia, owner of a struggling literary agency in New York City. Meet Jamie Conklin, a boy who sees dead people. And if that cool looking vintage style cover wasn’t clue enough, the story also has a bit of that old-school vibe. It’s a lighter read, for one, in terms of page length if not in subject. Oh, how great it is to feel excited about a Stephen King book again! Because I’ll tell you, the last ten years or so, it has been hit or miss.
