Exit

A volunteer who helps people die with dignity finds himself on the run after a routine visit goes shockingly wrong in this "ingeniously plotted" thriller (New York Times Book Review). Retired and widowed for more than a decade, Felix Pink is waiting, not unhappily, to die a boring death. In the meantime, Felix volunteers as an Exiteer: someone who sits with terminally ill people as they die by suicide. He assists with logistics, lends moral support--and then removes the evidence. When Felix lets himself in to Number 3 Black Lane, he's there to perform an act of charity. But just fifteen minutes later, after a tragic error, Felix is on the run from the police. Now he's desperate to find out what went wrong, and if his simple mistake was in fact a deliberate murder.
