He is approached by a terminally ill family friend who has had enough. The friend, a retired policeman, has an elaborate plan involving something Eli has ready access to at the family store - helium. While Eli is shocked and repulsed initially by the macabre proposal, he soon softens his stance and eventually agrees to lend a hand.

"Eli thought it was a one-time thing - he had no idea that euthanasia would become his true calling. His biggest concern now is how long he can keep his daring underground operation going before the police or his volatile new girlfriend get wise...

The Exit Man is Greg Levin's second novel. His first, Notes on an Orange Burial, received rave reviews and told a brilliantly funny story of the desperation of an aspiring poet.
