This Side of Dead

On Memorial Day weekend, Cecilia Denton hopped out of her boyfriend Brad's car and leapt off a bridge. Far from suicidal herself, she did it to save a jumper, but she had no idea of the chain of events her heroic stunt would set in motion. Because Cecilia cheated the Grim Reaper, Death claimed her boyfriend instead. Now, Cecilia and Malcolm, the stranger whose life she saved, must go on a scavenger hunt of redemption. Either they prove to Death that there's more to humans than greed and despair, or Death claims both Malcolm and Brad. Malcolm Manchester didn't ask to be saved, and he sure doesn't want to be Cecilia's partner in a game of Beat the Clock to restore Death's faith in humanity. The heat is on Cecilia to give Malcolm a reason to live before time runs out—or send him off with a bang.
