A young child's fate is at stake in a deadly battle between his deceased parents in this gripping and profoundly original psychological thriller, perfect for fans of What Have You Done and Middle of the Night.

When a commercial flight crashes, all 184 people on board perish-with the singular exception of a two-year-old boy named Ethan, who's entrusted to family friends Matthew and Nicole per his late parents' wishes.

From the afterlife, Ethan's parents, Tag and Amanda, watch helplessly as Nicole's secret addictions, the family's financial struggles, and the public's fascination with their story ignite events that threaten their son's welfare.

Soon, Amanda's grief turns into an insidious obsession- Ethan belongs with her and no one else, and she sets out to reunite with her son by any means possible-including killing Ethan herself.

After Amanda learns how to possess the living, only Tag stands in her way. He must protect his child, even if the consequences of his actions mean he may never see his wife or son again.

What the Dead Can Do is a dark, psychological, speculative thriller tinged with horror, destined to keep readers' minds spinning long after the final page.
