In this standalone follow-up to an Edgar winner's acclaimed debut novel, Murray Kiefer is a boy who lives in a cemetery and can talk with those buried beneath the tombstones. He'd rather no one knew, but word got out once he helped solve a fellow student's murder. Now people think he's nuts, or want to use his ability for their own ends, or don't care that he might not want to get tangled in another police investigation all over again. But there's been a brutal killing--maybe more than one--and Murray may be able to help unravel the crime, although not without risking his own life, and those of the only friends he has.

Charlie Price lives in northern California. He is an executive coach for business leaders and has also worked with at-risk teens in schools, hospitals, and communities. He is the author of six novels, including Desert Angel and The Interrogation of Gabriel James, winner of the Edgar Award.
Gr 7 Up—In this sequel to Dead Connection (Roaring Brook, 2006), Murray, a clairvoyant who sees and talks to the dead, finds himself in the middle of yet another murder mystery. He's still not sure about his gift. He worries that society will think he is crazy and want to lock him up. Pearl and her father, Janochek, believe in Murray's gift and are willing to assist the teen. Detective Roman Gates knows he needs Murray, too, but will the teen seer help the detective solve a new string of murders? Readers are kept on the edge of their seats from the very first line to the last in this heart-pounding work; Price is masterful in the art of building and maintaining suspense. Though this novel easily stands alone, teens who enjoyed the first books will love discovering what Murray sees and hears this time around. VERDICT A must-have for any YA mystery collection.—Paula Bonifer, Pendleton Public Library, Pendleton, OR
