The Afterlife of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved to Me There's Life After Death ~ by Annie Kagan, 2013

The Miami Dade Police left a message on my answering machine at nine in the morning.  "If you know William Cohen, please contact Sergeant Diaz at 305..."

Those opening words of the book make me want to keep reading to find out what happened.  Here's what the book is about:

Annie Kagan is not a medium or a psychic, and she did not die and come back to life.  In fact, when she was awakened by her deceased brother, she thought perhaps she had gone a little crazy.  Kagan shares the extraordinary story of her after death communications (ADC) with her brother Billy, who began speaking to her just weeks after his unexpected death.  One of the most detailed and profound ADC's ever recorded, Kagan's book takes the reader beyond the near-death experience.  Billy's vivid, real-time account of his on-going journey through the mysteries of death will change the way you think about life, death, and your place in the universe.
