Publisher's Synopsis
The heart. A simple pump. The one constant that defines human life. Tom Boyand's heart has stopped - he lies dead on a table. His colleagues wait to bring him back. A devoted family man and respected cardiologist, Tom is obsessed with the near-death experiences of his patients. An obsession that's led him to this point. But something goes wrong. He's gone for too long and sees too much of the other side. And now the other side wants him back.
