Something really strange is happening in the City by the Bay. People are dying, but their souls are not being collected. Someoneâ??or somethingâ??is stealing them and no one knows where they are going, or why, but it has something to do with that big orange bridge. Death Merchant Charlie Asher is just as flummoxed as everyone else. He's trapped in the body of a fourteen-inch-tall "meat puppet" waiting for his Buddhist nun girlfriend, Audrey, to find him a suitable new body to play host. To get to the bottom of this abomination, a motley crew of heroes will band together: the seven-foot-tall death merchant Minty Fresh; retired policeman turned bookseller Alphonse Rivera; the Emperor of San Francisco and his dogs, Bummer and Lazarus; and Lily, the former Goth girl. Now if only they can get little Sophie to stop babbling about the coming battle for the very soul of humankin… (mehr) |

Despite having been liberated from his beta-male DNA, Charlie still viewed the world with glassy-eyed suspicion, due in no small part to the fact that he had already been murdered once and hadn't cared for the experience. (chapter 5) [Lily is wearing a black, Victorian-style gown with bustle as she goes by three members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence]
As she passed the sisters, one of them looked at her corset-elevated cleavage and tsked-tsked her as she passed.
