'I've come to find that most people ignore the dead,' Conrad Avery Sutton III begins The Worthy,a wickedly funny and frightening ghost story of unholy proportions about secret ties and a murdered frat boy on a post-mortem quest for redemption.
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. Make no mistake, the newly deceased Conrad is one angry ghost, and the object of his wrath is chapter president Ryan Hutchins, a 'big, bright, rising star' who, in Conrad's view, is really 'the darkest black hole you'll ever meet, and I'm not just saying that because he killed me.'
Conrad's ghostly ability to see all but be seen by no one (except Miss Etta, Gamma Chi's elderly cook, who is gifted with paranormal powers) confirms his suspicion that Ryan's dark hand has a wide reach, from beating his girlfriend, Maggie Meadows, to terrorizing Sarah Jane Bradford, 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, steering them toward a depraved confrontation with a surprising outcome that will leave readers gasping.
