In the Name of the Dead

In the name of the dead, I legislate for the living. From then on, every departing soul is no longer silent. This is an embalmer who has been declared dead by the law. He pursues the murderer for the dead in the gap between the yin and yang worlds, only to find that all the strange murders point to an ancient seal that is awakening - and he himself is the key to that seal. He eventually grows from "speaking for the dead" to a person who "rewrites the rules for the living".
