The Undertaker — Razor's Edge Summary

In the grim underbelly of 1954 Detroit, the dead don’t always stay buried.

Mr. Saltz—known only as The Undertaker—runs a funeral parlor with secrets hidden beneath every floorboard. Emotionless, tasteless, and cold by nature, Saltz disposes of bodies for the city's most powerful crime boss, Manford Van Johnson. But when a relentless detective begins to connect the dots, and rival families move in to clean house, the quiet shadows start to stir.

Drawn deeper into a war he never asked for, and tethered by a strange intimacy with a woman who accepts his monstrous truth, Saltz walks the razor’s edge between silent executioner and hunted relic.

Justice is coming. But so is something far colder.

Gripping, elegant, and unapologetically dark, The Undertaker — The Razor’s Edge peels back the city’s skin to show what festers underneath.
