The main character, after seeing the effects of traumatic injury and illness on a friend and his brother, decides to pay out multi-millions of dollars to a company which arranges to murder the payee once an agreed upon point of physical or mental degradation has occurred. The problem (of course) is that when our guy actually does "need" their services, he's not ready to "go"!
White's usual protagonist, Alan Gregory, is a minor character here and does very little "sleuthing". Until the end, the reader knows much more about what's going on than Dr. G. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as his previous novels, especially as I didn't find the main character all that sympathetic.
