An ethical guide to murder / by Morris, Jenny,author.;
Thea has a secret. She can tell how long someone has left to live just by touching them. Not only that, but she can transfer life from one person to another--something she finds out the hard way when her best friend, Ruth, suffers a fatal head injury on a night out. Desperate to save her, Thea accidentally kills the man responsible and lets his life flow directly into Ruth. Thea comes to understand that she has a godlike power, but how to use it quickly becomes a question of self-control. Is it really so wrong to take a little life from a bad person--say, a very annoying boss--and gift it to someone who's truly good? Realizing she needs to harness her newfound skills, Thea creates an Ethical Guide to Murder. But as she embarks on her mission to punish the wicked and give the deserving more time, she finds good and bad aren't as simple as she first thought. How can she really know who deserves to live and die, and can she figure out her own rules before Ruth's borrowed time runs out?

Strangers at the red door : a novel / by Bock, Dennis,1964-author.;
"At a train station in China, three people meet, only two of whom are actually alive. The first is Faron Jones, on his way to Hong Kong to interview an Iranian film director-cum-dissident holed up in the Japanese consulate. The second is Mildred Ha, a Hong Kong bookseller detained at the border crossing for attempting to deliver copies of the most dangerous novel in China over to the mainland. The third is the deceased author of that very novel, Jian Seung, now a wandering spirit trapped in the middle world between life and death. Soon after this encounter, and for no reason he can understand, Faron learns that he's suddenly acquired flawless Mandarin and Cantonese, languages only a day earlier he had no knowledge of. Slowly, the impossible truth that another man's soul has joined his own and now speaks in his voice becomes maddeningly undeniable. With this comes Jian Seung's extraordinary claim and his urgent request of Faron, and so the ghostwriter and the spirit of the dead novelist trapped within him set upon a search for the one person--the disappeared bookseller--who's able to deliver the Chinese novelist's spirit to his final resting place. Instantly propulsive, wholly original, and like a mirror for our current times, Strangers at the Red Door follows these characters and their quests for freedom, love, and reconciliation. It explores a world in which the boundaries of the physical and the spiritual blur; countries facing uncertain futures intersect; and the struggle of the artist against political oppression becomes an essential act of survival."--
