Ghost of a Death

John Henry Harris has been murdered. From his death arises the ghost Descartes. A 9mm bullet through the back of the skull simultaneously ended the life of the one and gave birth to the other. John Henry has lost his daughter and the $74 million he was paid for his successful company. The ghost Descartes has gained probable immortality and the ability to interact with the world of breathers through the computer and the internet.As Descartes says, he is "a formally structured, self sustaining, carbon based electron cloud that has fully booted the software of John Henry Harris, late of Westwood."If only death was so simple.John Henry's daughter ends up married to the murderer. Her death will be next unless Descartes can prevent it. And to save her he must solve his own murder.
