When Lilia Chambers is assigned a case at Skyborne Heights prison, the young coroner's life will be turned upside down. She's been sent to examine a Polish mystic the prisoners call Swami George, whose body shows no vital signs and yet cannot be declared dead. It's as if the life force is not extinguished, but absent. Swami George has a secret. When the secret is passed on to Lilia she will find herself swept up into a world beyond understanding, on a sudden flight to rescue someone she has never met. The Body Abroad is a first-class paranormal thriller, and the first book of the three-part series The Good Samaritans.
