It was strange - Wilt calling me when he d died the week before. Maybe a lot of other people get called from the spirit world or whatever, but it was a first for me and so I didn t pick up until the fifth or sixth ring. When Curtis Brooks gets a phone call from his older brother Wilt the week after his funeral, he s sure his brother is reaching out from beyond the grave to find evidence that will lead to his murder s arrest. But Wilt claims he wasn t murdered; his calling is standard protocol for newly deceased at the Aftermarta kind of inescapable, ever-expanding Walmart filled with obsolete technology and discontinued products. Curtis embarks on a dangerous plan to find the killer, which soon has him scheming against a billionaire and fumbling towards love with his brother s ex-girlfriend Suzy, all while struggling with typical high school drama and his single mom s questionable choices. Why does Wilt help Curtis win over Suzy, even as he organizes a rebellion at the Aftermart? Who wanted him dead? Curtis risks his life to answer these questions, in the process forging a bond with his brother unlike any they ever had."
