Book Description via Goodreads:
While away on an undercover mission, Undertaker Will Ritter has made an unthinkable alliance...with a Corpse! But though Robert Dillin (aka 'The Zombie Prince') is indeed one of those alien invaders who animate and possess the bodies of the dead -- unlike the rest of his kind, Dillin isn't evil. In fact, he wants to help. And Will needs that help, because the Queen of the Dead has learned the location of Haven, the Undertakers' secret HQ, and is planning a massive and deadly assault.
With the last day of the Corpse War finally upon them, Will and his friends find themselves in a desperate race to close the Rift between worlds and forever kill the Corpses. But can they do before Haven is overrun?
For that matter, can they do it at all?

Excerpt:
“What’s going on?” Jillian asked.
In answer, Tom turned to Helene. “Got the pics?”
She nodded, holding up a small stack of white photo paper. “Hot off Sammy’s printer.”
“Lay ‘em out across the table. Face up.”
Helene did so.
People. It was a sunny, late spring day topside, and men and women in suits were busy going about their business. From the look of it, Helene had found herself a choice spot near the “clothespin,” a big modern sculpture of—well—a giant clothespin, that stood at 16th and Market Streets.
Helene had been subtle with the camera, maybe holding it in the palm of her hand while turning in a slow circle. Most of the shots were at an upward angle.
Smart.
Dozens of faces, all wearing different expressions, all clueless that their image had just been digitally captured.
“Susan,” Tom said, turning to Will’s mother. “Look at these pics.”
Obviously perplexed, the woman did so. “What am I looking for?”
He asked her, “How many are Corpses?”
To her credit, she actually tried. She even picked up a few of the shots and held them closer to her face, as if that would help. Finally, with a sigh, she put the last one down and said, “I don’t know. Are any of them?”
Tom looked from her to Jillian.
“Are any of them Corpses?”
Now it was Jill’s turn to look perplexed. Her gaze moved from Tom to the pictures, to Helene, to the pictures again. “Three,” she said.
“Which ones?”
She picked up three shots, two women and one man.
“Give ‘em here,” Tom said.
Jillian handed them to him and, for half-a-minute, Tom studied them.
“What’s going on, Chief?” Helene asked.
Tom Jefferson lowered the pictures and regarded each of them in turn. He would have preferred to have Will and Sharyn here, but that wasn’t possible. Things were happening, and he simply couldn’t wait.
So he told them, “I wanted to be absolutely sure before I said anything.”
“About what?” Susan asked.
He replied in a calm, matter-of-fact voice. “I’ve lost the Sight. I can’t see Corpses anymore.”
