Well don't look on the shelves under W for it, for this was written by Darcy Patel, an American teenager of Indian extraction, who was inspired by the discovery of a death connected to her mother to thump out her YA debut within a month. Back to our existence safely, she finds she has a lifelong link to what lies beyond, and discovers a ghost that has been living in her home all this time, with a dark reason for sticking around. She practically wills herself to be dead, and even encounters a hunky god of the dead in the realm she enters. The 911 operator tells her to play dead, and she does – except she goes one stage further. Lizzie is at the airport waiting for the last flight out of the day, when terrorists strike.
