A Dirty Job

Charlie Asher is a normal guy. He's what's known as a Beta Male: the kind of fellow who makes his way through life by being careful and constant. But Charlie's been lucky. He owns a building in the heart of San Francisco, and runs a secondhand store. He's married to a bright and pretty woman and she, Rachel, is about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie's doing okay for a Beta. That is, until the day his daughter, Sophie, is born. Just as Charlie turns to go home, he sees a strange man in mint-green golf wear at Rachel's hospital bedside, a man who claims that no one should be able to see him. But see him Charlie does, and from here on out, things get really weird. People start dropping dead around him, giant ravens perch on his building, and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead.
