Sir Arthur Jennings, sometimes nicknamed Artie, is a former politician who was murdered by being pushed off a balcony at the Sunset Beach Hotel in Montego Bay. He is already dead at the beginning of the novel, and he narrates the prelude to each of the five sections of the novel from the afterlife, which he describes as boring and frustrating. Sir Arthur is particularly exasperated by the fact that almost everyone who is still living thinks he fell of the balcony, and the man who murdered him––who is eventually revealed to be Peter Nasser––remains free.
