Head Case

Head Case is an exciting, laugh-out-loud-funny mystery from an author whose work has been called "simply riveting" by The New York Times and "sharp and fast-paced" by Publisher's Weekly. A comic satire of the influence of the psychopharmaceutical industry on American life, Head Case takes aspiring neurochemist Olivia Zack and her estranged friend and roommate Polly Warner on a collision course involving ethically challenged executives, spotlight-hungry celebrities, third-rate mobsters and drug-dealing babushkas. It's like Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones meets Carl Hiaasen's Nature Girl as Olivia embarks on a postmortem quest to deconstruct the remarkable events that lead up to her mind-altering death. A smart and savvy page-turner, Head Case explores the meaning of personal relationships, emotional intelligence, and mental health while taking the reader on a synapse-stirring, neurotransmitting rollicking ride. "Head Case is an enjoyable gem of a mystery, and more... There are drug-dealing grannies, pill-popping celebrities, Russian mob bosses, eccentric ex-Soviet chemists, feuding roommates, faltering friendships, bad bosses and a rat named Raskolnikov-how can you not have fun?" - Amazon.com Review
