Death waits for no one... Charles Leithan has been unhappily married for years. Under
 normal circumstances, he would have long since divorced his wife for 
his beloved mistress, but these are not normal circumstances. Leithan
 has inherited a significant sum of money, but the conditions state that
 the instigator of a divorce would forfeit the entirety of the money to 
the other party. Unwilling to try to make a living through his 
mediocre writing, Leithan suffers his corpulent wife and her obsession 
with pedigreed dogs, sneaking in visits to his mistress whenever she 
goes out of town. When Mrs Leithan suddenly disappears, Charles 
calmly assures the police that he is certain his wife has simply gone 
away on another visit and there is nothing to worry about. But 
the police are suspicious and they're sure that Charles Leithan knows 
considerably more about his wife's disappearance than he is letting on. The
 fact that there is a great deal of money involved, and the conditions 
set upon the possession and use of it, would be damning enough. And
 with Charles's visits to his mistress becoming less and less secretive,
 it is clear that he is no longer scared of getting caught by his wife, 
or anyone else for that matter. The police are certain that 
Charles is behind his wife's mysterious disappearance and it's not long 
before they think they're got the case cracked. Believing they have solved the mystery, the police bring a murder charge before a jury. The only problem is that there is no body... The Benefits of Death is an unputdownable thriller with an almighty twist in the tale.
