"Dying is end game, you know? It's over after that. And all anybody wants to do is make sure their death was meaningful, that their lives had meant something to lead up to this point."
Oliver Lehman lives his life like a hamster running on a wheel: monotone and seemingly endless with no goal in sight. His business is failing, his only customer acts like a robot, and his fingers are pruney from doing nothing but cleaning his dishes all day.
But when a murder is committed right in front of his coffee shop, he tastes just enough fame on his tongue to lust for it.
