A belief in the afterlife - what happens to the spirit, the essence of a person and personality after the body ceases to be - is common to almost every faith and culture the world over. Even people who don't ascribe to a religion or consider themselves spiritual share a fascination in life after death; they may just look at it in a different way. Some will wonder about the existence of heaven or hell; others believe they've seen "dead people," especially those who have been close to them in life; others look for answers to the question "What will happen to me when I die?" In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Life After Death, author and intuitive Diane Ahlquist shares her own knowledge of the subject, as well as the opinions of religious and spiritual leaders and others, like Edgar Cayce and the Dalai Lama, who have long spoken about the possibility and the experience of the afterlife.

Janet Moodie has spent years as a death row appeals attorney. Overworked and recently widowed, she’s had her fill of hopeless cases, and is determined that this will be her last. Her client is Marion ‘Andy’ Hardy, convicted along with his brother Emory of the rape and murder of two women. But Emory received a life sentence while Andy got the death penalty, labeled the ringleader despite his low IQ and Emory’s dominant personality. Convinced that Andy’s previous lawyers missed mitigating evidence that would have kept him off death row, Janet investigates Andy’s past. She discovers a sordid and damaged upbringing, a series of errors on the part of his previous counsel, and most worrying of all, the possibility that there is far more to the murders than was first thought. Andy may be guilty, but does he deserve to die?
