Dr. Emma St. Clair has been through quite a lot lately. Not only was she involved in an accident that claimed the life of her fellow co-worker and friend; she had a near-death experience and now she sees dead people. To top it all off, she has also just got out of a terrible marriage. When she returns to work after a long recuperation, things really start to go haywire. Emma is a medical examiner and her patients, although dead, are telling her what happened to them, including who may have killed them. The morgue workers are starting to look at her strange and her boss has even suggested she go for counseling. Her only salvation is in the good-looking detective who seems to be dogging her every step.

Detective Jason MacKenzie has been through a lot as well. He has lost his parents and sister and now heʼs lost another friend as well. The most difficult part in all his loss is the fact that he has been unable to solve their cases. His latest case has really gotten into his head and just maybe his heart. He doesnʼt know what it is about Emma, but he just canʼt shake her from his mind. Now it seems every time he turns around, there she is sticking her nose where it doesnʼt belong. All he does know for certain is that she seems to have good instincts. If he knew where or what her good instincts came from, he just might be running the other way. Emma feels like she needs someone to confide in, but will Jason think she is absolutely crazy?

FINAL WORDS by Teri Thackston is an intriguing look into the world of medical examiners with a twist. The chemistry between Jason and Emma is obvious. The story is guaranteed to keep you engrossed from the very first page.
