Reseña del editor

Following a catastrophic fire at school, 17-year-old Jenny Covey is given a slim chance of survival. Her mother Grace, who rushed into the burning building to try to save her daughter, lies in a coma in the same hospital, with the prospect of never regaining consciousness. When the police conclude that the fire was started deliberately, an investigation to find the arsonist is led by Grace's sister-in-law Sarah, a detective.

What turns this thriller into something extraordinary is the fact that it is narrated by Grace, who is detached from her inert body, thus free to follow each step of the investigation as it unfolds. Unseen by all those in the physical world, Grace and Jenny piece together the terrible truth, unable to communicate it, but determined that the person responsible should be held to account. And in what is literally a heart-stopping ending, Grace contrives a way to ensure that justice is done.
