The Ferryman Institute : a novel
(Book)

Ferryman Charlie Dawson saves dead people, and convinces them to move on to the afterlife. He's acquired a reputation for success that is legendary-- but serving as a Ferryman is causing Charlie to slowly lose his mind. Deemed too valuable by the Ferryman Institute to be let go and too stubborn to just give up in his own right, Charlie's pretty much abandoned all hope of escaping his grim existence. Then he stops Alice Spiegel from taking her own life-- something strictly forbidden by the Institute. When word of the incident reaches Inspector Javrouche, the Institute's resident internal affairs liaison, Charlie finds he's in a world of trouble.
