Part of the Open Door series of short books for emerging readers. Pat and Joe Murphy were best friends for as long as anyone could remember. That is, until a big fight tore them apart five years ago. And they haven't spoken until this, the night before Joe's funeral. Joe is dead, you see - but there he is, sitting up and talking like he always did. Maybe now, after all these years, they can finally get to the real reason for their conflict... In Dead Man Talking, a fast paced, funny, and often spooky novella, Doyle meditates on the transience of friendship, as well as life, death, and everything in between.
