I can see the structure of the novel. In the first chapter, he's on his deathbed, perhaps being interviewed by his future coroner. Subsequent chapters are eye-of-god narrations of various versions of what happened, according to unreliable witnesses.

But I don't think I can handle it. I suggest Umberto Eco, or Martin Amis.
