Charlie is what you call a Death Merchant. After the death of his wife (during childbirth), Charlie begins to see things that are glowing red. At first he thinks he's going crazy, but then he learns that he is supposed to take these items, which contain souls, and hold on to them until the next person is ready to have that soul. Charlie meets some interesting characters along the way and discovers that it's "a dirty job" but someone's got to do it.
This is the 2nd Moore book that I've read. I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of it, but thought that the last bit went downhill. I did like the last couple of lines of the book, though
