Death always comes without asking.
At a ball, on a street corner, on the deck of a boat, or in the silence of a holding cell, it makes no difference. Being rich, being loved, or being right will not stop it. It is the quiet curse that one day catches up with every soul.
In this book, you will witness the final thirteen hours of thirteen different lives, from a society girl to a stray dog, from a homeless man to a fugitive criminal, and from a dolphin to a police officer.
Each story begins where the last one ends, and each death opens the door to the next. This journey starts in the glittering ballrooms of London, carries you into the underworld, out to sea, across distant islands, and finally into the darkest corner of your own conscience.
Thirteen souls. Thirteen deaths. And perhaps, when you turn the final page, you will find the courage to look at your own life once again.
