What do a mercenary and a mortician have in common? Dead. Freaking. Bodies.
Callum Walker kills people for a living. Although he doesn’t get a say in who gets put on his list, in his spare time he likes to hunt people who hurt children. After a misunderstanding that leads him to believe local funeral director Ryan Fairview is responsible for abusing one of the neighborhood children, Cal has his next target.
However, Ryan isn’t like other morticians. He can see dead people. So when Cal breaks into Fairview Funerals ready to kill him, Ryan is shocked to find that his would-be murderer is haunted by all the people he’s killed.
Ryan might be just the man to help Cal get rid of his little ghost problem. The only drawback is these two are polar opposites. Oh and Ryan can’t seem to get over the small issue of home invasion and attempted homicide.
Will Cal win over the stubborn and neurotic mortician? Or will Ryan refuse to be swayed by the impulsive yet charming mercenary?
