About this ebook
Julian Vale has a job at the newspaper Bellweather Chronicle. It is his job to write death notices. A short piece about a person who has died is called an obituary. Julian's writing is about people's families, jobs, memories, and lives. He thinks that everyone should be honored with honor.
Julian gets a strange death notice for Dr. Adrian Holloway, a well-known doctor in the city, one Monday morning. That is not good because Dr. Holloway is still living. His death notice says he will have died that nite after falling out of his study window. It also has sensitive information about his family, clothes, and memories.
Julian thinks there must be a mistake, but when Julian calls Dr. Holloway, he gets scared. The doctor dies later that nite, just as the article said he would.
Soon, there will be more strange death notices. Each one talks about the death of a living person in the future. All of the information is very correct, and the messages come from Julian's own newspaper report. The police started to think that he had done it because of this.
Julian and Detective Lena Voss look into what's going on. They found out that Thomas Bell, who also wrote obituaries, got similar texts a long time ago. A strange symbol is also found linked to the old cases.
They follow the clues to Ashdown Children's Home, where a terrible fire killed eleven kids. Important things about the house were kept secret by powerful people. Some of these people are being killed right now.
Julian also learns about Gabriel Gray, who lived through Ashdown and may have something to do with the killings. Gabriel can't explain everything, though.
When Julian gets an obituary for his sister Rebecca, the story becomes more personal.
Julian finally gets it: the obituaries might not just tell us about deaths. They may also lead people, find hidden crimes, and make people who are still alive make decisions.
At the end, Julian understands that there may be a few more words to write before the story is truly over.
