Bennie really puts the ghost in ghostwriter. She writes suicide notes for a living. You ever been stuck in a meeting that feels like eternity? It’s soul-purging work, and her record of seeing all kinds of people through to the bitter end is less than perfect.
After a difficult meeting with HR (Death), she’s assigned a challenge to prove herself and keep her place in the Office. But she's landed an impossible client: beloved chef and TV presenter Anthony Bourdain. Bennie is torn, but Chef has unlocked a secret to the universe and can’t live to keep it. And if Bennie doesn’t see this one out, she’s going Downstairs.
