Max used to be an ordinary boy - until he offered himself up to Death in
the place of his little sister, and somehow ended up as Death's
assistant. Life in the Underworld isn't all bad though, despite
housekeeper Liah's abysmal cooking. Above ground, someone has worked out
how to bring the dead back to life, with potentially universe-destroying
consequences. Can Max and Liah stop the culprit in time? Or will Max get
a lot more than he bargained for?
