Over Your Dead Body
JOHN AND BROOKE ARE ON THEIR OWN, hitchhiking from town to town as they hunt the last of the Withered through the Midwest--but the Withered are hunting them back, and the FBI is close behind. With each new town, each new truck stop, each new highway, they get closer to a vicious killer who defies every principle of profiling and prediction John knows how to use. Meanwhile, Brooke's fractured psyche teeters on the edge of oblivion, overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of dead personalities sharing her mind. She flips in and out of lucidity, manifesting new names and thoughts and memories every day, until, at last, the one personality pops up that John never expected and has no idea how to deal with. This description comes from the publisher. Over Your Dead Body is the fifth book in the John Wayne Cleaver series, the first of which is I Am Not a Serial Killer.
This book is the third installment in the John Cleaver series, and while it continues the overarching narrative, it can be enjoyed by new readers as the author provides enough context to follow the story.
Over Your Dead Body continues Dan Wells's signature blend of psychological depth and dark themes, similar to his other novels, but it further develops the unique internal struggles of its protagonist, John Cleaver, in a more intense way.
