Lex and her new partner, Driggs, with whom she has a fiery love-hate relationship, stumble across bodies with no known cause of death, sparking an investigation into one of the greatest, dirtiest secrets of the Grim organization. After the upteenth time of being sent to the principles office Lexington is told by her parents that she is being sent away for the summer to her Uncle Mort's farm. She used to be a straight A student and turned into a bully in two years. Initially dubious, she soon discovers a natural talent for the work. Lexington Bartleby is a delinquent 17 year old girl. Instead, upon arriving in the tiny town of Croak, Lex discovers that she, like the tattooed and motorcycle-riding Mort, is a Grim, responsible for drawing out the souls of the recently deceased to facilitate their passing on to the afterlife. ![]() ![]() When 16-year-old Lex Bartleby’s anger management issues and violent impulses land her in one fight too many, she is sent to live with her uncle Mort in the Adirondacks for the summer, in the hopes that it will straighten her out. In this spirited (no pun intended) debut, Damico playfully explores the nature of life and the afterlife. ![]()
