They all sold their life insurance policies to the same company-

and now they'

re all dead. Mac and Oliver are on the case. On a beautiful spring morning in Washington, D.C., a high-profile attorney is found dead in his office. McDermott ""

Mac""

Burke and Oliver Shaw, homicide investigators for the Metropolitan Police Department, are called to investigate. There appear to be no signs of foul play, but there is also no obvious sign of a natural cause of death.

The detectives are perplexed until the medical examiner notices a tiny pin prick on the lawyer'

s neck and theorizes that the man was injected with succinylcholine-

aka ""

sux""

-

which is a common horse tranquilizer that dissipates quickly in the body.

As Mac and Oliver begin to look further, they discover that the lawyer had sold his life insurance policy to a large viatical company. Then, they realize that more deaths under mysterious circumstances have occurred among those who'

ve sold their policies to the same company.

Reviews for Incentive for Death: A Novel

Praise for James Spoonhour An ominous tale about need and greed, the tension ratcheted up by a single question, 'Are they really going to do that?' Yes, they are. Enjoy this pulse-pounding treat. -Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author
