* In ''[[Tim Powers|On Stranger Tides]]'', Stede Bonnet falls under Blackbeard's power via ''vodun'' and extortion, but eventually opts to escape being a sorcerous puppet by invoking this trope ... with the Royal Navy as the cops. His desire to be killed in battle rather than hanged leads him to escape from jail when captured, then provoke the pursuing soldiers into firing on his own party of fugitives.
* ''The Zoo Story'', Jerry, who is a homeless very lonely man meets another man named Peter and forces him to kill him. Although he doesn't tell him to kill him, Jerry tries to get Peter mad enough to do it.
* In ''[[Mrs. Pollifax (franchise)|Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled]]'', Amanda Pym -- feeling that she has nothing to live for -- attempts Suicide by Hijacker when terrorists take over her flight, only to accidentally become a hero instead, leading to the rescue of over two hundred hostages.
