In this explorative account of a young undertaker, twenty-six-year-old Lucas Benson finds himself stuck in a world that delves much deeper into death than his daily duties as a mortician usually take him. Not only is he struggling with severe loneliness, but he also dwindles into the harrowing world of medical examining, leading him on the trail of criminals and the scandalous lengths the government is willing to go to cover their tracks of conspiracy. It is along this journey where Luke discovers his true self, as well as the sincere meaning of love when he meets Tabitha, a reluctant night club dancer. In a perfect blend of hard-boiled crime fi ction and literary workings, Wedding manages to combine two styles into a relentless page-turner.
