Call Me When You're Dead

Call Me When You're Dead is a darkly comic novel about payback gone wild, gone sour, maybe even sweet. 'If anything bad happens to me, I want you to get him.' That's what Eleanor Birch's glamorous friend Sasha Cole requests of her during a New York City dinner one hot August night. Something bad does happen, and Eleanor is forced to become another person altogether in the wilds of Manhattan, acting as her own little Pygmalion in the harsh world of advertising and its remorseless denizens. How she triumphs, and how her prey becomes first her ally and then her lover, makes her journey a tragic romp, a hilarious disaster, and even an all-out farce - but one with very serious consequences.
