Publisher Description
One Friday night in Chicago, two friends leave their neighborhood bar and go home. One man never makes it. Stabbed in the heart by a crazed assailant, the victim is brought to a nearby hospital. A respected young carpenter who seems to have it all-wife, children, friends-finds himself in the same hospital. Mysterious stomach pains, violent mood swings, and uncharacteristic forgetfulness have plagued George Gilmer. Though he remembers nothing, it was his knife that killed the man, his blood on the man's body.
Brainstorm leads the reader into a world where the human capacity for evil extends beyond belief, into a world where it is hard to draw the line between insanity and innocence.

BRAINSTORM
It’s hard to find good medical thrillers these days. Most of the recent ones I’ve found have morphed into murder and crime stories. Preferring the singular medical mystery plots, I was disappointed with this book, which combined a medical condition with murder and drug syndicates, with most emphasis on solving the crimes. In addition, there were many grammatical mistakes which (as a former editor), were obvious and distracting. Examples include putting quotation marks in the wrong place and omission of commas; these errors are found throughout the book. These and other simple mistakes caused confusion (not to mention annoyance) while reading the book. A final issue was the use of many characters’ names beginning with the letter “G.” Admittedly memory is not my strong suit, but when I let some time pass between readings, the multiple use of “G” names confused me.
