The Posthumous Adventures of Harry Whittaker by Bobbie Darbyshire

Following a sudden heart attack during rehearsals, actor Harry Whittaker dies at the hospital.  After death he finds himself able to rise very slightly above his body and look around, he feels trapped.  He is shouting for people to help him but no-one can hear.  He is trapped in a strange after-life.  

To be able to escape his body he must find someone he can latch on to, this has to be someone with whom he had a good connection during his life.  He then realises that he didn't really care very much for anyone.  

Richard is the son of Harry.  He was never recognised by him and was brought up by this single mother.  Richard wants to leave his failing cafe behind and set off to travel but is worried about leaving his eccentric mother.  When they hear of Harry's death Richard's mother is adamant they they must attend the funeral.  

At the funeral Harry hopes to have the opportunity to latch on to someone and escape his body before it is too late.
