A young child’s fate is at stake in a deadly battle between his deceased parents in this gripping and profoundly original psychological thriller, perfect for fans of What Have You Done and Middle of the Night.

When a commercial flight crashes, all 184 people on board perish—with the singular exception of a two-year-old boy named Ethan, who’s entrusted to family friends Matthew and Nicole per his late parents’ wishes.

From the afterlife, Ethan’s parents, Tag and Amanda, watch helplessly as Nicole’s secret addictions, the family’s financial struggles, and the public’s fascination with their story ignite events that threaten their son’s welfare.

Soon, Amanda’s grief turns into an insidious obsession: Ethan belongs with her and no one else, and she sets out to reunite with her son by any means possible—including killing Ethan herself.

After Amanda learns how to possess the living, only Tag stands in her way. He must protect his child, even if the consequences of his actions mean he may never see his wife or son again.

What the Dead Can Do is a dark, psychological, speculative thriller tinged with horror, destined to keep listeners’ minds spinning long after the final word.

Rosch has leveled up.

I read Peter’s last book future skinny, and really enjoyed it. So I was right to anticipate this book delivering. I wasn’t expecting it to hit like it did. The writing is top notch, and enjoyable. Lexicon pulls from Gen Xers and millennials in a perfectly natural way. You can’t help but cheer for the plot and his characters. The meta way it jumps around kept me engaged. I even got the chills in chapter 17. This book hits hard! Especially with the great cast of voice actors on this production. Can’t wait to see the movie.
