The Obituarist (part 1)

The Obituarist - Dead people are the safest story around. They can’t answer back. But if you follow in death’s footsteps, it can be dangerous to get too close.
When a war hero dies suddenly, a struggling journalist finds himself in the right place at the right time to make his own reputation.
Dead old soldiers make for wonderful obituaries - their lives so much more vivid and action-packed than our own humdrum existence.
For an obituary writer, they’re a welcome relief from boring men in grey suits and large-breasted Z-list “celebrities”. But how can an obituarist meet his deadlines when death moves so slowly?
It’s not what you think.
Brace yourself for handlebar moustaches, stiff drinks, hyphenated surnames, greed, treachery and, of course, death. With a twist.
