Zombie Waylon Jenkins is dead set on proving that cosmetology can save the world... What's a zombie--who also happens to be a cosmetologist--do when dead bodies show up with missing limbs and the local police captain thinks the zombie did it? After all, the captain reasons, who else needs the spare parts? For Waylon, it drags him into a deep cover zombie military unit where good moisturizer isn't enough to protect his friends or the peaceful life he's struggled to build. Besides, all he really wants to do is die. If Kevin J. Anderson and Michael Connelly had a baby, they'd name it Waylon Jenkins.
