About the Book

A short story.

The worst part isn’t being dead, but finding a job. Francis Lee Lemons wakes up in the land of the dead, unemployed and bored. As a criminal in his life in modern America, he figured that the best plan in his afterlife is to stick to what he knows. But getting in with the local crime syndicate — run by an 1800s gunslinger, Alicia — isn’t that easy.

Also found in Ellen Datlow's Naked City: Tales of Urban Fantasy.
