THE DYING INDUSTRY
Life: some want it, some don’t.
It’s 2019 and Joe, terminally ill, is recruited by a clandestine organisation to commit mercy killings. Immune to consequences, he lives outside the law that good people fear breaking, and he’s desperate for cash. Every account he closes is a lifeline for the family he’s leaving behind.
After a national train strike results in missed accounts, landing Joe in trouble with Mr Bertrand, his contact at the organisation, Joe gets back in the driving seat and hits the road as a grim reaper in demand.
Described by the author before his death as ‘part memoir, part fiction’, Joe’s story is a glimpse into a world that’s undeniably real, shocking in both its banality and violence, and hiding among us in plain sight.
