'There are stories, and then there are sagas. Some books entertain, others educate, but every so often, you come across a tale so compelling that it does both. This Life in Death Vol.II (1989 - 2024) is one of those books. It is not a work of fiction-though at times, you might think it is. It follows on from where Vol. I left off in this autobiographical rollercoaster ride of riches to rags to riches amid the machinations of the death industry while mixing with royalty, the rich and famous.' 'Howard Hodgson is one of the UK's most colourful and complex entrepreneurs of the last fifty years. His descent from a rich and idyllic childhood to slum poverty before rising again to become Entrepreneur of the Year and beyond is both fascinating and inspirational'.
