The quiet—and the boredom are relieved by the pleasant distraction of the beautiful Gemma, but just when he feels he is getting somewhere with her, a the discovery of corpse in his usual lounge chair brings his holiday to an abrupt end. Convinced that the Mafia has finally located him, the police put Zen on the move again, in startling directions.

As the plot unfolds, and Zen ponders his uncertain future, bodies are stacking up around him.And Then You Die is another exceptionally surprising, consistently funny triumph from a master of the genre.
