Description
A paranoid thriller in the mind-bending tradition of Philip K. Dick and The Twilight Zone, THE NEXT TIME I DIE will draw you into its claustrophobic web of suspense and leave you questioning everything you think you know.
DYING WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
Steven Blitz didn't think about his own safety when he saw the man trying to force a woman into his car. He stepped in to defend her, and got a knife to the gut for his troubles.
But when he wakes up in the hospital from what should have been a fatal wound, he finds the whole world changed - a different president in the White House, a loving family when he'd been on the verge of divorce, more money in the bank than he's ever seen. There's a dark side, though: in this world, Steven Blitz is not a good man. And now he's got to get himself out of serious trouble without even knowing what it is he's done wrong.
"Jason Starr is the first writer of his generation to convincingly update the modern crime novel by giving it provocative new spins."
-Bret Easton Ellis

Reviews / Votes
"So fresh and clever and compelling. I don't know when I last turned pages so quickly."Ian Rankin
"Beautifully and perfectly crafted. Halfway between Christopher Nolan's Memento and a story by Philip K. Dick."
Matteo Strukul
"With The Next Time I Die, Jason Starr has taken a next level leap... It's like Philip K. Dick is still with us and has just written a new, brain-frying work of New York noir."
Brian Greene, Criminal Element
