When the dead start rising, it's a paperwork nightmare! Margaret Locke is a corpse compliance officer, responsible for ensuring proper working conditions for departed souls and the husks they've left behind. But now, someone is raising the dead too soon after they've gone to the grave, which violates every code there is. As the dead begin to outnumber the living, worries of an undead army rise. With the help of a forgetful "deadman" and a wizard with projectile dysfunction, Margaret must solve a murder, catch a necromancer, and put the dead back in their graves.
