Cover of THE NEXT OBITUARY

Obituary writer Owen Pike is used to writing about people after they die.

Then an obituary arrives for a woman who is still alive.

Her date of death is tomorrow.

The next morning, she is dead.

When another obituary arrives—this time giving its victim three days to live—Owen realizes he isn't dealing with predictions. Someone knows exactly when these people are going to die.

As he follows the trail through Charleston, every name leads him closer to an old lie someone has spent years protecting. And with each new obituary, the question becomes more dangerous:

Who gets the next one?

THE NEXT OBITUARY is a dark psychological mystery thriller about buried secrets, guilt, manipulation, and the terrifying difference between predicting a death and announcing it.
