After dying for two minutes, PI Harper Blaine wakes up with the ability to enter the Grey, a paranormal twilight zone. Since acquiring this new ability, shades and vampires have looked to her for professional help and, in this volume, she is helping a psychologist discover who is messing with his experiment to create a poltergeist. When one of the participants is killed, Harper investigates to determine if the group's poltergeist played a role in his death or if one of the other participants did him in.
Since I've actually had to submit experiments to an ethics committee, I really had to suspend my disbelief that this experiment would have made it past even a drunken, stoned or ambition-rabid ethics committee. Perhaps they were all struck temporarily illiterate or hypnotized? Whatever: I'm reading a book about a greywalker for godsakes so it's clear I'm looking for fiction. Any howzawhatzits, Harper sleuths with a Scully-like determination that I adore, though she spends less time on playing with her powers in this book and the killer is pretty obvious. Fans of C.E. Murphy's Joanne Walker books, which also take place in Seattle, will also enjoy this series.
