Death and Other Occupational Hazards

People have a few ideas about Death, and the worst by far is a skeleton in a black potato sack. If she''s lucky, she gets a scythe. The truth: she''s just a woman doing a job and she''s very good at it. Until she takes time off to live as a human and everything falls apart. Someone''s killing people not on her schedule (well, not yet anyway) and with no thanks to the Temp she left in charge, it''s up to her to make things right. With the help of her oh-so-sanctimonious sister, Life, and a charming (sexy) parasitologist, Death must stop the killer before it''s too late. But that''s if she can defeat her greatest challenge yet: human bureaucracy. Who better to investigate a murder than Death herself?
