Sinopsis

Amnesia, G.H. Ephron's acclaimed debut, introduced forensic neuropsychologist and expert defense witness Dr. Peter Zak. Returning in Addiction, Peter is back in the thick of things at the Pearce Psychiatric Center, coping with patients as well as everyday average administrative nightmares at the hospital, like budgetary concerns, construction, and colleagues' drug trials. And then the worst nightmare of all-the murder of a colleague.Such an event, if it weren't devastating enough, rekindles Peter's memories of the murder of his wife, which left Peter emotionally shattered and isolated; he's only recently begun to emerge. But he can't retreat this time; he must use his expertise to help reconstruct this baffling and intensely personal killing.Peter discovers his friend and former lover, Pearce psychiatrist Channing Temple, dead from a gunshot wound on hospital grounds. Her 16-year-old daughter Olivia is standing over the body, holding a gun. Did Olivia, who has been abusing Ritalin and other drugs, kill her mother? Peter thinks not, but she is quickly arraigned for murder, and he has only two weeks to find the killer before Olivia is sent to prison. In this tense and compelling second installment in a highly lauded series, the talented writing team known as G.H. Ephron tackles the dangers and misconceptions surrounding addiction...and the chaos of murder.

    "We're not happy to be here. You see, we work homicide. Crime scenes and dead people. Not some goddamn blackmail scavenger hunt," Detective Grant Briggs said. "I've got cases backed up. Murders that need solving. Instead, we're chasing the city assholes' dirty laundry." 
    — Crusher's Funeral. 
    New York City, 1970. 
    Crusher--the city's toughest and meanest debt collector--is dead. But his secret boxes of blackmail, stolen jewelry, piles of cash, and maybe a $100,000 lottery ticket have every crook, cop, and hustler clawing for a piece. From a street kid who knows too much to a blind widow who knows everything, the chase is fast, funny, and full of bad decisions. 
    Because in New York, the dead don't always stay buried.

    My name is Madison Westin. Unless it’s Christmas, in which case my official title is “Holiday Cheermistress.” Nothing stops me from getting my ho-ho-ho on, not even my friends’ Grinch-worthy attitude toward sparkling tinsel, twinkling lights, and tinkling bells. 
     
    Hey, if Creole, Fab, and Didier wind up with coal in their stockings, it won’t be my fault. 
     
    When some bah-humbug bandit makes the rounds of Tarpon Cove, Fab and I are on the case. It’s the least we can do for our loyal friends. Seasonal crime-victim disorder seems to be on the rise.  
     
    Some guy in a Santa suit—well, the top half of one anyway—is robbing local banks. The cops are fingering the wrong guy. And you can bet your light-up Rudolph boxers that if we can’t track the real thief down, one of my merry band of miscreants could be spending the holidays behind bars.
