It’s hard to stay alive for Charlie Tobias, an L.A. probate attorney whose clients too often turn up dead. Charlie’s previous estate administrator, dapper developer David Alex lost his life too close to home. Charlie’s current, zealous estate administrator, fiery Angel Sedona fights for her daughter, Gabriella’s future, and is in danger. Angel counts on Charlie to make things right in the world of major law-firms’ powerful and maybe even deadly hold over L.A. probate court justice.  

Charlie’s pushing his luck, on the edge of the River Styx, walking with the dead, trying to avoid Charon, the ferry boatman’s ghostly grasp for Angel and for himself.
