Synopsis (Spoilers)

It’s 2008. Rahm and his research team at the University of Virginia make a big breakthrough in health monitoring using gait and sleep measurements. Shortly after, a global conglomerate, Mashataki, launches a copycat product.

When Rahm’s suspicions grow that his team’s technology is being stolen, Rahm is murdered by his girlfriend, his body is dumped in remote woods and his team is assassinated.

Rahm, an engineer and a man of science, finds himself to be a ghost and the prime suspect. Wanting to avenge his death and clear his name, he spends a few frustrating months following the investigation and trying to figure out how ghost life works. When mediums, ghost tours and the like turn out to be pretty much useless, Rahm starts thinking that exacting revenge as a ghost might be impossible.

Just as Rahm is about to give up on seeking revenge, he has a breakthrough. He discovers that he can possess certain sleeping people. While possessing a boy in Barcelona, he realizes that a woman, Vivienne, from dreams he had long ago, must be a ghost. He follows clues from those dreams to try and find her. After a creative and grueling search, Rahm finds Vivienne in Gibraltar. She introduces him to the world of ghosts.

He resumes trying to prove his innocence and get his revenge in the little time he has possessing people. With the help of new ghost friends, Rahm breaks into Mashataki HQ in Japan. Using the information from Mashataki HQ, Rahm manages to infiltrate Mashataki locations in the Netherlands, Bengaluru, and North Carolina. He destroys all the software and the backups and drives their healthcare division into bankruptcy. While Rahm and his ghost gang are destroying the company, executives at Mashataki are being killed by someone else. Everyone involved in his murder, but Marie, is dead.

During this globe-trotting, he discovers Mashataki devices installed at airports in many locations, further intriguing him. When the Snowden revelations about NSA spying make the news, Rahm decides to use the NSA to find Marie. That’s when he discovers that the NSA and CIA are using his technology for spying and that the conspiracy to kill his team goes deeper than previously thought.

Rahm manages to infiltrate the NSA with his ghost friends and locate Marie in Rio De Janeiro. In Rio, he manages to sneak into a CIA base and clone a CIA phone. But he fails at killing Marie, and she vanishes again. Before she escapes, he captures her “gait fingerprint” to make finding her easier in the future. However, Marie stays under the radar for a long time. When Rahm has long given up on finding Marie for a second time, his CIA phone alerts him to her presence in Santiago. Vivienne and her friends who live in Santiago find Marie. Vivienne possesses Marie and convinces her to visit Hawaii using the power of dreams, just like she had convinced Rahm once. Rahm finally gets his revenge 13 years after his death.

Comps & Audience

Thriller readers x paranormal fiction readers. The book reads more like a thriller about a normal guy thrown into a conspiracy as a character in a Dan Brown, Robin Cook, or John Case novel would be. The paranormal elements never result in any happenings that cannot be explained by real-life phenomena. So, there aren’t exact comps but Kat Richardson and Jim Butcher are my inspirations in writing a paranormal fiction novel.
