When the Reaper Calls (French's Acting Editions)

When the Reaper Calls (French's Acting Editions) Description

Victor and Harlan are two young philosophy professors who have been friends, rivals and inveterate pranksters since their student days, but things have changed: Victor has turned into a wild hedonist in keeping with his belief that "when you're dead, you're dead", while Harlan has become a dull Stoic leading a strict unemotional existence in preparation for the afterlife. They are on holiday with their long-suffering wives in the Canadian wilderness, and Victor has devised a prank which he believes will prove the falseness of Harlan's philosophy and shake him out of his passionless state - but the prank goes horribly wrong. After a heated argument a shot is fired, and one of the professors lies dead! This is far from the end of the story however; in fact, the nightmare is just beginning...With "When the Reaper Calls", the author of "I'll Be Back Before Midnight" has done it again, concocting a highly entertaining, scary tale that will keep audiences laughing, gasping and guessing throughout.
