How many people can say that satisfying their munchies helps solve murders? Olivia "Liv" Moore is a medical resident on the fast track to a perfect life, until she's turned into a zombie. Stuck between half-alive and undead, Liv transfers to Seattle's morgue to access the only thing that allows her to maintain her humanity, human brains. But there are side effects to Liv's new diet: flashes of the corpse's memories, including clues as to how they were killed. Liv's boss, a brilliant and eccentric medical examiner, encourages her to embrace this newfound talent and help an eager, unproven homicide detective solve the murders.
