Do the dead feel their death approaching? Do they see and hear us as we mourn them? How are deeds presented to the deceased at the moment of death? How does the soul wander in the afterlife? What is the mystery of the first night in the grave? What is the nature of the genes that become strangely active after burial? Do sudden deaths experience the same symptoms as those who die after illness? What have those who returned from near-death seen? How do those nearing death signal others? And the secret of secrets... a good ending.
