Death Benefits: A Novel of Suspense

Description

A stunning novel by a master of suspense in which a naive young man with a head for numbers teams up with a veteran fraud investigator on a cross country chase . In a startling turnabout the pursuers become the pursued. A compulsive read which does for insurance rackets what Elmore Leonard did for Detroit or Dick Francis did for horse racing. (This is a stand-alone novel, not one of the Jane Whitefields.)

Thomas Perry won an Edgar for The Butcher's Boy, and Metzger's Dog was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His other books include Blood Money, The Face-Changers, Shadow Woman, Dance for the Dead, and Vanishing Act. He lives in Southern California with his wife and two daughters.
