Publisher's Synopsis
Death has been doing its job for a long time, and it has grown weary of its responsibility. In order to find a replacement for itself, Death has strewn together a web of events in which many unwilling characters have been tangled, most of whom just want to go home and put their troubles behind them. Chief among them is Paul Truman, a recent college graduate who has no idea how or why he died, but fully intends to find out.
