Habeas Corpse

"Dexter meets Deadite" - Michael Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Play Dead Do you want to return to life after your death? Should 'Risers' have rights? They do in Nikki Hopeman's crime/horror thriller. But not everyone is okay with the living dead being a part of society. When a series of grisly murders terrorizes the Steel City, Theo--a "Riser" working as a forensic technician for the Pittsburgh police--decides to use his dark gift to hunt the killer. He finds a partner in his only friend, Dr. Henry Libitin, but Theo's unique talent of experiencing the victims' last moments comes with a shocking price. Before there was iZombie, there was Habeas Corpse. "If George Romero had created CSI, the result might have been something like Nikki Hopeman's Habeas Corpse. A cross-genre blend of mystery, horror, and urban fantasy, with strong characterization and razor-sharp prose. I loved it!" - Tim Waggoner, author of Bone Whispers
