"Paul Donner, an NYPD detective who was shot down in a holdup, is brought back to life five decades later. This isn't as stunning as it might sound: in the future, people are revived all the time, due to the Shift, a world-altering event that came with a mixed bag of consequences, including the fact that deceased people can be revived, but they're now aging in reverse, their bodies getting younger, providing a sort of built-in time limit for the revived. Paul, feeling adrift in an unfamiliar world, determines to find out who's responsible for his death and stumbles i nto a conspiracy that shocks him to the core."--Booklist.
