Simon has the power of psychometry (the ability to see an person's past through touching an object) and turned his back on a life of petty crime to work for the government's team of oddities: people who possess certain abilities that make them useful in dealing with the paranormal. But when a beautiful ghost is convinced she isn't really dead, things start to get complicated.

It's an interesting story! If you like the Dresden Files, you'd enjoy it but it might not be a favorite. I like the supernatural aspects (ghosts, living bookshelves, psychic abilities) without fairies prancing around. The writing was good, not entirely predictable and not thoroughly laced with profanities (although there were some) or lots of sex. I'm intrigued enough to read the next in the series.
