CBC Showcase: Fiction on the Edge
Is Murray psychic? He talks to the dead and comforts them in their lonely graves, even as they provide solace for him.
by Charlie Price
Murray hears the voice of a murdered cheerleader and tries to convince the adults that he knows what happened to her. But who believes him? He's a loser. Can he even believe in himself? Along comes Pearl, the daughter of the cemetery caretaker, who befriends Murray and tries to enter his world. Together they may prove the astonishing possibility that Nikki is closer than anyone thinks.
"Dead Connection is a smart, funny, very clever page turner; unique and fun to read. As much as I wanted the mystery solved, I didn't want it to end. You're going to like this book." —Chris Crutcher
