Harper Connelly has what you might call a strange job: she finds dead people. She can sense the final location of a person who"s passed, and share their very last moment. The way Harper sees it, she"s providing a service to the dead while bringing some closure to the living - but she"s used to most people treating her like a blood-sucking leech. Traveling with her step-brother Tolliver as manager and sometime-bodyguard, she"s become an expert at getting in, getting paid, and getting out fast. Because for the living it"s always urgent - even if the dead can wait forever.
