It was ok. I got bored with it by the end. Story of a Dr. who has a past of drug abuse and recovery. Some characters get involved with his clinic and it brings him back to some of the "characters" he knew in his "druggie" days. It is suspenseful, but I didn't really care whodunit by the end...you might!
He was haunted by his past, plunged into a nightmare of murder, memory and desire...One powerful surprise after another. A highly original, haunting thriller. A drama, a thriller & a survival story all in one.
The doctor cannot forget the image earlier tonight of a burn victim in his emergency room, try as he might. No rest for him tonight, or tomorrow. The killings have begun and he's caught up in it all.
As a medical student, Lancaster shared a dusty college apartment with a woman who shared her desire with a white powder. As a result, he lost everything; then slowly won it back again. Now his past floods back before his eyes--in a man's seared flesh, in the arms of a mysterious young woman, in the probing questions of a good cop who caught a bad break and suspects Lancaster is not who he seems.
Suddenly Lancaster has no choice but to run--into the arms of his weakness and disgrace, into the past that almost destroyed him, into a corrupt and deadly plot that flows like a river of tears.
It keeps you reading, keeps you wondering and keeps you wanting to learn the rest of the story contained in this well-written, good book.
