Review
"A deftly plotted thriller that combines the best of Lisa Scottoline and Robert Crais. Find a comfortable chair and plan to stay up late. Highly recommended." —Sheldon Siegel, New York Times bestselling author, Judgment Day
"Right up to the twisted and unexpected slam-bang ending, Murder on the Down Low will keep you teetering precariously on the edge of your seat the whole way through." —The Book Club Queen
Product Description
Waverly Sloan is a down-on-his-luck lawyer. But just when he's about to hit rock bottom, he stumbles upon a business with the potential to solve all of his problems.
In Waverly's new line of work, he comes to the aid of people in desperate need of cash. But there's a catch. His clients must be terminally ill and willing to sign over rights to their life insurance policies before they can collect a dime. Waverly then finds investors eager to advance them thousands of dollars—including a hefty broker's fee for himself—in exchange for a significant return on their investment once the clients take their last breath.
The stakes get higher when Waverly brokers the policy of the cancer-stricken wife of Lawrence Erickson, a high-powered lawyer who's bucking to become the next U.S. Attorney General. When Waverly's clients start dying sooner than they should, both Waverly and Erickson—who has some skeletons of his own to hide—are unwittingly drawn into a perilous web of greed, blackmail and murder.

Another great book by Pamela Samuels Young, Dec 11 2009
By Gwenevere Richardson "Texas Queen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buying Time (Paperback)
Pamela has done it again with another great legal thriller. Pamela's books tend to be lengthy (about 400 pages), but the length does not detract from the fast-moving action in her novels. I've read every one of her books and would highly recommend all four. In "Buying Time," the author educates readers about an industry that is probably little-known outside the legal community -- viatical investments. I would highly recommend this book, especially for readers who like legal intrigue.

Excellently plotted mystery!, Nov 28 2009
By Avid Reader 1966 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buying Time (Paperback)
Buying Time is the fourth book from Author Pamela Samuels Young. Her writing style is brilliant; she expertly weaves her characters together in unexpected ways, and the plot timing is magnificent. This book is a definite page turner, and each chapter left me hungry for more. It was difficult to put the book down, as I was anxious to see what would happen with the characters. The topic is very interesting and the plot is very believeable. I wouldn't doubt that somebody somewhere has tried what the Author described in the story. Her research must have been painstaking, because the final package felt like something out of a CNN or 20/20 investigation. Bravo!

Get Rich Quick, Jan 24 2010
By OOSA Online Book Club "O.O.S.A. Gets It Read!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buying Time (Paperback)
Waverly Sloan is a down-on-his-luck attorney. Disbarred, his life is spiraling out of control. He has a high maintenance wife that he really can't afford to support, a brother addicted to drugs always looking for a handout, and a wealthy father-in-law constantly breathing down his neck. Waverly needs an income and quick. Luckily, Vincent, a guy he met at a legal conference, told him about a way to make money brokering deals, to which he'll receive a hefty broker's fee. Rather morbid, Waverly has second doubts because all his patients must be terminally ill. This is very different from what Waverly is accustomed to, but seeing that it makes the clients comfortable and helps them to enjoy their lives a little longer without financial worries, it's a win-win situation. Or is it?
I really, really enjoyed "Buying Time" by Pamela Samuels Young. It was a page turner with colorful characters that I just couldn't get enough of. I would love to see another book with Waverly Sloan. I recommend "Buying Time" to everyone.
