They all sold their life insurance policies to the same company. Now they're dead.

When a prominent Washington, D.C., attorney is found dead in his office with no apparent cause of death, homicide detectives McDermott "Mac" Burke and Oliver Shaw are called in to investigate. What looks like a natural death quickly becomes something far more sinister when a medical examiner discovers a nearly invisible clue--a tiny puncture mark that suggests murder.

As Mac and Oliver dig deeper, they uncover a disturbing connection: the victim had recently sold his life insurance policy to a large viatical company. Soon, other suspicious deaths emerge among people who made the same financial decision. What begins as a single unexplained death escalates into a complex investigation involving greed, corporate deception, and a killer with a powerful incentive to eliminate victims before anyone discovers the truth.

With the body count rising and time running out, the detectives must unravel a sophisticated scheme before more lives are lost.
