In this quirky, supernatural investigative [thriller,] Bentley Hawthorne lives a solitary and mysterious life in an old mansion with his wry, long-suffering butler Pym.
Pym and Bentley's childhood friend and spitfire journalist, Gwendolyn Marks, don't understand why Bentley insists on a path of isolation, but that's because they don't know his secret: The gentle-seeming Bentley is actually a chosen servant of Death tasked with avenging victims who have been killed before their time. Bentley has worked alone until now.
However, he'll need their help when Death's messenger, a raven named Roderick, charges Bentley with his strangest and most dangerous investigation yet.
