Publisher's Synopsis
No one escapes from Life, Inc. - not even Death. Foreign thoughts and feelings have begun invading the Stabilizer, Life, Inc.'s Senior Death Agent in the Department of Darkness, Mortal Division. Some remind him of the heart he used to own-and the man he used to be. Detecting his quiet struggle, Senior Management acts swiftly to ensure his highly sensitive position cannot be compromised by an awakening conscience. With his scheduled retirement drawing near, the Stabilizer aims to right himself, but office politics, affection for a woman, and knowledge of the Boss's "Big Mistake" compound his problems until he must flee to find his own way home. Fear, anger, frustration, and defiance of the "System" fuel a dizzying flight from skewed justice toward a grand finale that none save one could have imagined.
