Death Benefits

By: Thomas Perry

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

A careful, methodical young data analyst for a California insurance company, John Walker knows when people will marry, at what age they will most likely have children, and when they will die. All signs point to a long successful career---until Max Stillman, a gruff security consultant, appears without warning at the office. It seems a colleague with whom Walker once had an affair has disappeared after paying a very large death benefit to an impostor. Stillman wants to find and convict her; Walker is convinced the woman is innocent. Now Walker teams up with Stillman on an urgent north-by-northeast race---relentlessly leading to a pay-off that just might shock the life out of him.©2008 Thomas Perry (P)2009 Tantor

Critic reviews

"Compelling...A labyrinthine tale of murder [and] conspiracy." ( People)

Wish I could give 4.5 stars

Wish I could give 4.5 stars. Kind of a loose story line but kept pulling me back in. Ending gets a little funky though.

On Butcher's Boy class

A great, solid build-up thriller sprinkled with humor and with a fine cast of characters. If you like the Butcher's Boy series, Strip or Metzger's Dog you'll surely like this one.
Michael Kramer is the perfect narrator.

Another Thomas Perry masterpiece.

Not since Ross Thomas has a writer consistently writtencompelling, can't put down books with unforgettable characters and dialogue. You NEVER maker a mistake with Thomas Perry. Kramer is the perfect voice for his books.
