– Det går rykter om at det har blitt hørt bankelyder i en nygravd kiste i et lite tettsted i England. I et tettsted hvor alle kjenner alle. En enkemann hadde mistet en kone kort tid etter at de hadde giftet seg, og hun var gravid. Bare noen dager etter at hun var blitt gravlagt, hadde kirketjeneren først hørt bankelyder fra kisten, men bare trodd det var ren og kjær innbilning, for av og til kan kirkegårder være skumle (hvem syns vel ikke det?). Det viser seg at det er flere som har hørt disse bankelydene fra samme grav, og gjør til at kirketjeneren ikke lenger tror det bare er noe han innbiller seg. Det blir satt i gang ett oppgravingsaksjon og det gir også enkemannen til den gravlagte, håp om at hun er i live. Utmerket lesing for de mer lettskremte på en sen høstkveld med trommende regndråper mot vinduet, men for oss andre, er den kanskje noe kjedelig og forventingene for høye.

Three muffled thuds ring from the partially filled grave of the newly wed girl.
Only the verger hears them and he dismisses the noise as his imagination. But over the next few days others also hear faint sounds.
An exhumation order is granted. Reporter Kate Hemingway sneaks into the small suburban churchyard when the coffin is opened, and the scene she witnesses is so horrific she can never forget it. As she starts work on the story, Kate finds herself caught up in a sinister and macabre cover-up.
At the centre is a respected anaesthetist who has a secret obsession. He believes people can exist outside their bodies and that if he can prove it he will provide the answer to the question that has haunted mankind through the ages: is there life after death?
Nothing - and no one - is going to stand in the way of his driving ambition . . .
