RED SKY AT NIGHT by James W. Hall - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by James W. Hall.
It was truly a crime against innocents. Eleven dolphins, part of an
experiment in healing, are found slaughtered in their saltwater tanks.
When Thorn investigates, he triggers a vicious attack that leaves him
paralyzed from the waist down, plagued by unrelenting pain. Now Thorn, a
Florida renegade who has lived a life of fierce freedom, is starting
over in a wheelchair, bitter enough to drive his lover away, desperate
enough to seek miracles on the fringes of medical science - where his
childhood friend, now a doctor, is doing cutting-edge research in a
quest for the ultimate painkiller. Bean Wilson was once destined for
greatness. Then came the war in Vietnam, a debilitating injury, and a
simmering rage. Now Bean is running a pain-relief clinic in Key West,
assisted by a beautiful six-foot-tall island girl named Pepper Tremaine,
who chews hot chilies like gum and carries a scalpel in her blouse.
Under the guise of a respectable research facility, Bean and Pepper are
using human beings as lab rats, then feeding the bodies of their
failures to the shark-churned sea. Within hours of entering the clinic,
Thorn can sense the danger. But when he begins to make the bizarre
connection between eleven dead dolphins and Bean's clinic, the stakes
are raised. Because Dr. Bean Wilson, a man who knows exactly how an
amputated limb can scream with real, unbearable agony, may be on the
brink of the most dangerous discovery of all: a cure for human pain. And
in a climax that explodes with the kind of secrets that can turn
friends into enemies and lovers into strangers, Red Sky at Night races
toward a harrowing showdown between Thorn, imprisoned in a wheelchair,
and a mad, ruthless doctor who will stop at nothing to cure his own
twisted pain.
