Denton Hake has just been paroled from prison for a rape he has no memory of committing. Moving in with his reluctant brother and sexually restless sister-in-law, he tries to rebuild his life while surrounded by a distrusting community. At the same time, he begins to experience terrifying and bizarre memory lapses during which he seems to travel outside his body to see events happening to other people in other places. During one of these lapses, his new girlfriend is found shot to death, and Denton becomes the most obvious suspect. Desperate to prove his innocence, and haunted by the mysterious death of his father, he begins to doubt his own sanity. If he can harness his power in time to expose the killer, he can save himself from hanging -- but only if he confronts the deepest, most horrifying truth about his past. Thomas Baum has produced an innovative and gripping novel set in the Pacific Northwest that combines the eerie world of the paranormal with the pacing and suspense of a masterful thriller.
"Compelling, memorable...one of the best reads I've had in years" HARRY CREWS "Reading [Out of Body] is like being on a speeding train, destination unknown"
"Calls to mind Truman Capote's In Cold Blood in its depiction of the outsider in American society, in an intriguing blend of the realistic and the hallucinatory."
"Tom Baum's Out of Body is the equivalent of a brilliant psychopath's DNA transformed to great literature."
