Summary: Glen Runciter is dead. Or is everyone else? What is certain is that someone has died in an explosion organized by Runciter's competitors. In fact, his employees attend a funeral. But during the duel they begin to receive disconcerting, and even morbid, messages from their boss. And the world around them begins to crumble in a way that suggests they don't have much time left either. This biting metaphysical comedy of death and salvation (which can be carried in a convenient packaging) is a tour de force of paranoid menace and absurd comedy, in which the dead offer business advice, buy their next reincarnation and run the continuous risk of dying again .
