Synopsis

They know what's going to happen to you... after you die. Scientists in Iceland think they've figured out one of our greatest mysteries - where the electrical energy in our brains goes after we die. According to the laws of physics, one form of energy must always become another form. So the electrical energy in our brains and nervous system can't simply disappear... When ex-lawyer Becky Dales travels to Iceland to track down her missing brother, she doesn't care about the groundbreaking discoveries, or the positive-thinking practiced by the Icelanders - she just wants her brother back. Having stumbled on something she thinks the Icelandic government wants covered up, Becky must piece together the answers fast... before she becomes a victim herself.
