The Dead Take the A Train (Carrion City, 1)

Her name is Julie Crews and her job is to put bad things to rest. She is good at her job, but with her reputation, costly habits, and poor accounting, Julie is often short on cash. What Julie does have is a saintly landlord, good friends by her side, and a tenacious go-get-‘em-killer attitude. And poor judgment. To make life easier, Julie decides to summon a guardian angel who is not quite what she hoped it would be. Now Julie must track down the otherworldly threat before it’s too late.
