Synopsis

Critically acclaimed, Agatha Award-winning author Peter Abrahams is hailed by Stephen King as his "favorite suspense novelist." In this breathtaking thriller, a man with nothing to lose races against time to uncover shattering secrets from his past. Roy Valois has been given four months to live. Curious, he hacks into the New York Times to read his impending obituary and notices a discrepancy in the information about his deceased wife Delia, who Roy believes died accidentally. As he digs around, Roy realizes Delia led a secret life. The more he learns, the less he feels he knew his wife at all. And now the clock is ticking on his time to learn the truth. The Denver Post has praised Abrahams' "truly remarkable talent for writing psychological thrillers of enormous power, depth, and intensity," and Nerve Damage is a shining example of this formidable talent.

What a carnaval. Peter Abrahams writes extraordinary mystery Dramas. The way he manage to show physical and mental struggle with words is mind blowing. Though the plot is complicated this book is a smooth read and not something you want to put down before the end.......more

Goodreads review by Jim

I suspect that everyone who has a favorite author does not love all that author's books equally. I'm as big a fan of Peter Abrahams as I think there is, and I admire all of his works, but I don't love them all, and NERVE DAMAGE is a book I love only because of the things that are in every Abrahams n......more

On a whim, he looks up and reads the obituary that will be printed about him in the New York Times. He fin......more
