This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I couldn't wait to see what would happen, and then I was sad that it was over. Definitely not for the squeamish (the author himself said that he reread the last scene and felt physically ill--and that he was not unhappy about that), and neither was I. Beat the Reaper has mafia hitmen, outrageous action scenes, and sharks. A lot of fun.
