Death is missing, presumed ... errrr .... gone, and that leads to the sort of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn.
So reads the blurb on the back of the edition I read, with this being the novel where Death himself starts to really live, to come alive, as it were, when he is forced to (temporarily) retire from his position:
'Death has to happen. Tha'ts what bein' alive is all about. You're alive, and then you're dead. It can't just stop happening.'
This is also the book to introduce the Death of Rats (SQUEEK), as well as the Auditors of reality, both of whom will go on to appear and have larger roles in later books as well.
