What if they were wrong? ... Hong Kong, 2002. A stock market trader desperate to pay off a gangster debt invents a scam: Afterlife Dollars. A product inspired by an ancient Chinese custom that allows people to buy their way into heaven. It's the beginning of a dizzying chain reaction that ripples in Mumbai, where one man does the unthinkable to secure his afterlife - while thousands of miles away in Amsterdam, another man races against time to stop an apocalypse. As a cast of larger-than-life characters grapple with unprecedented moral dilemmas, their choices will affect the rest of humanity. Profound, exhilarating and full of unexpected twists, Dead Money balances intelligence and dark humour with compassion, empathy and hope. Its cleverness lies in its ability to convince us that the impossible can happen - a compelling, thought-provoking read at a time when the world stares at an uncertain future."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Swindlers and swindling $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hoaxes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Money $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Future life $v Fiction. 651 0 $a China $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Black humor. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210311010425.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=834B33F2823711EB8921E49D29ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
