Expiration Day is a psychological thriller that explores a man's struggle to come to grips with a fantastic new ability. Jacob Flaherty is spending another day at the hospice bedside of his cancer-stricken wife Theresa when he sees the current date seemingly imprinted on her back. When Theresa later dies on that day, the grief-stricken husband is haunted by that last image of his wife's back. Was it a warning, or just a hallucination?Jacob comes to realize that he now has a "precognition" ability; he can tell when anyone he sees is going to die. The action follows Jacob, his best friend, and a new romantic interest as they try to both understand the workings of Jacob's gift and somehow help a succession of people who, unbeknownst to them, are threatened with impending death in ways that aren't obvious. Set in the historic oceanside city of Quincy, Massachusetts, this book will appeal to fans of page-turning suspense and psychological thrillers in the style of Stephen King (The Dead Zone) and Harlan Coben (Fool Me Once).Expiration Day takes a topic that everyone can relate to, death and when it could occur, and draws the reader in by asking what would you do if you could tell when people were going to die? Using biting conversation, humor and plots drawn from current issues, the reader is propelled along a series of events where life and death hang in the balance.
