The Business of Death
Steven is no stranger to death - Mr. D's his boss after all - but when a dead girl saves him from sharing her fate, he finds himself on the wrong end of the barrel. His job is to guide the restless dead to the underworld but now his clients are his own colleagues, friends, and family.
Mr. D's gone missing and with no one in charge, the dead start to rise, the living are hunted, and the whole city teeters on the brink of a regional apocalypse - unless Steven can shake his hangover, not fall for the dead girl, and find out what happened to his boss - that is, Death himself.
THE BUSINESS OF DEATH includes the first two volumes of the Death Works trilogy, Death Most Definite and Managing Death, as well as the third volume.

Praise for Death Most Definite:
"I enjoyed this book right from the first page. Jamieson opens with a literal bang as his main character starts getting shot at and it's quickly paced from that point on." --- sfrevu.com
"The worldbuilding is complicated and interesting, the descriptions of the underworld are fantastic, and Steven de Selby is a charming bumbler." --- Romantic Times (4 Stars!)
"The story itself is fresh and utterly gripping - I've read a lot of urban fantasy... and I've not come across anything that tells a story like this one." --- Australian Speculative Fiction in Focus
"A brilliant opening to what promises to be an enthralling series." --- Bookseller + Publisher (Australia)
