it was a ya series (maybe a trilogy), with a figure that is a ferryman in the vein of Charon..I think the first book might involve a suicide, but I can't remember. it's not a fantasy novel and I think the ferryman is an urban legend of some kind? the main character is a teenage boy who's sort of an outcast I think. sorry if this sucks :-[
