Does consciousness survive?

Can it be accessed?

A bleeding man staggers his way through the snow. Constantly looking behind him to see if he's being chased, he eventually stumbles, falls, and dies. His final words ignite an international chase that will cross countries, continents, and perhaps even centuries.
 
After a controversial American researcher is murdered in a remote Finnish village, Boston investigator Harry Walker receives a call from Candice--the victim's grieving niece. Determined to uncover her uncle's murderer, Candice finds herself in need of protection from the same forces that led to her uncle's demise.
 
In a fight for survival through Finland, Scotland, and the United States, Harry and Candice face the greed of investors and rogue agents, who all want to get their hands on what is being called the Karma Code, an experiment potentially capable of accessing a surviving consciousness and predicting a person's fate.
 
Unless Harry and Candice can find someone to trust amid the treachery around them, they--and the Code--are in danger of disappearing for good.
