Description: Conrad had it pretty good in life--a Porsche, pretty girls, and a trust fund full of oil money. But now, thanks to a brutal hazing incident at Louisiana State University's Gamma Chi fraternity, Conrad is dead--a nineteen-year-old spirit suddenly without an earthly body. He is one angry ghost, and the object of his wrath is chapter president Ryan Hutchins, "the darkest black hole you'll ever meet--and I'm not just saying that because he killed me." Conrad's ability to see all but be seen by no one (except Gamma Chi's elderly cook, gifted with paranormal powers) confirms his suspicion that Ryan's dark hand has a wide reach, from beating his girlfriend to terrorizing a religious student who senses that Ryan must be stopped. Out for revenge, Conrad possesses an unsuspecting pledge's body so he can finish what Ryan started.--From publisher description.
