Book three: Guilt Trip It is two years since Matty flatlined and Jerome watched hopelessly as the love of his life walked towards the light, seemingly embracing it. In Guilt Trip we discover how Jerome has coped since, and where he is now in terms of his life, which could never be the same again. As well as having to deal with personal trouble and strife the dead are ever demanding of him and he finds himself embroiled in yet another chain of problematic cases. Selfless to the last Jerome does his best to help the living live in peace and the dead rest in peace. However, as always Jerome learns that this is much easier said than done. The customary tempestuous course to restoring order to inharmonious lives is made ever more difficult by Adam Field. This truly ghastly and sly journalist is intent on unleashing his mean and nasty streak on Jerome. He does everything in his power to destroy him. Adam relishes every moment of Jerome's downfall when he drives him to the edge and pushes him over without a second thought, an ounce of compassion or any humanity. Will his evil ploy work, though? How will Jerome handle being publicly vilified in a hateful witch-hunt? If only this was the worse of it. Thanks to Adam, Jerome finds himself sectioned and at the lowest point he has ever been before. Whilst hospitalised Jerome begins a new friendship, and he quickly grasps that this is the storm after the calm. Will the realisation that there are some people, dead and alive, that he just can't save damage Jerome beyond repair and change life, as he knows it forever? Running away to Lizzie seems his only option but is turning his back on everything he knows really the right decision?
