While undergoing an experimental treatment for mesothelioma, he aska friend to read his unpublished obit.  It is then he discovers that Delia's death--and life--may have been different than he believed.

This fast paced novel starts out quietly and slowly but quickly takes off as Paul strives to discover what really happened to his wife.  But towards the ends you almost wonder how much is really happening or just inside his psychie.
