Death needs a vacation. There's only one catch. Who's going to do his job while he's out? The answer is simple. Death needs to hire an intern. So, with the help of his I.T. Guy, Jumbo, the two look for a qualified candidate. It doesn't take much to learn that their prospect, Buck Palasinski, could have what it takes. He's a Chicago hitman that's just been killed on the job. If they bring Buck back from death, he'll have a few weeks to prove that he has what it takes to be Death's right-hand man...that's if he can kill the Underworld's Public Enemy Number One, John Dillinger.

"This reads like a neo-noir mixed with a hefty dose of dark humor, and I'm loving it. The story grabbed me initially, and I liked the personification of Death and the little, nerdy details that make the author (and the characters) genuine."
