This mesmerising debut novel from Edgar D Jackson shines a whole new light on the Scottish ghost story.

Complete with mystery, horror, emotion, and a healthy dose of Scottish humour, Seeing Dead is a gripping tale that questions what we know about death. You just have to see it to believe it.

It was on a foggy day in 1988 that Charlie Cooper made his way to the bus stop for the last time.

Ten years have passed since then and what remains is a town scarred by faded missing person posters. An empty seat in the local police station. A father who has become an unwanted ghost, sipping cold ones in the corner of a woodland tavern.

And apart from that, there is a girl. Amee Florence is thirteen, with mousy hair and a cool, pale complexion. She’s starting her first day at school, but she’s nothing like the other children. There’s a secret behind her eyes that she keeps hidden. A secret that could help unfog that day in 1988, and reveal the real reason Charlie Cooper never came home.
