New from the internationally bestselling thriller writer
Glenn Cooper, whose books have sold more then 6 million
copies worldwide, comes Near Death.
A brilliant neuroscientist, obsessed with death since his
own childhood near death experience, resorts to drastic
measures to prove the existence of the afterlife.
Milan, Italy today. It is the most serious crisis that the
world has ever faced. Bewildered, young and old, believers
and atheists are asking all the same, distressing questions:
What will they do now that the greatest dream of humanity
has turned into a nightmare? What will happen when the
countdown clock winds to zero?
Boston, a few months before. It is the most complex
investigation that Cyrus O'Malley has ever faced. The FBI
special agent looks at photos of the victims for the
umpteenth time and wonders why, after being strangled, the
serial killer has drilled a tiny hole through their skull.
For Cyrus, the case becomes an obsession. To solve it, he
will be forced to give up everything he holds dear.
England, 1988. It is the most overwhelming feeling that Alex
Weller has ever had. In ecstasy, at the pivot point between
life and death, the boy sees a river of light flowing in
front of him and on the other side there is his father,
joyfully urging him to join him. But Alex cannot move, and
suddenly he is back at the site of the terrible car accident
that has just killed his parents.
Since that time, Alex has had only one goal: to understand
and relive that experience. Even if he is forced to kill.
