Publisher's Synopsis
Garfield Stewart is dead. He's been hit by a truck. There's only one problem - he's not meant to be dead. That hasn't stopped him turning up in Death's domain, though. Something has gone wrong in the space/time continuum.Death's antechamber isn't what Garfield expected. Death himself isn't some hooded, figure, carrying a scythe. He has all the appearance of an Edwardian gentleman, dressed in a red smoking jacket, sitting in a maroon leather wingback chair holding a glass of single malt whiskey, sitting in a drawing room. Far from being the terrifying spectre of myth, Death appears to be a classically handsome gentleman who bears a marked resemblance to Garfield's deceased great uncle Albert (complete with a thin face, Roman nose, and a small, neatly trimmed moustache.Obviously, something has gone disastrously wrong with what was meant to have been Garfield's life. Whilst Death tries to find a way to correct the problem, and return Garfield to the land of the living, he has one or two little tasks he'd like Garfield to perform. It seems that Garfield isn't the only person who has turned up in the afterlife unannounced and before they were meant to.What Garfield would like to know is why Death is so preoccupied with the blunders that the cosmos created in the life of a girl called Emily.
