A Matter of Death and Life (Broché)

Material troubles? Sick of life? Suicide the answer? Why not get yourself a contract killer? Nothing easier provided you communicate only by the phone and box number. You give him your photograph specify when and where to find you, then sit back and prepare to die. Murdered, you will be of greater interest than ever you were in life. A mysterious killing lives along in the popular memory. Our hero meticulously plans his own demise, except one detail: what if he suddenly decides he wants to live? This darkly funny tale is Kurkov on top form.
