An action-packed medical thriller that doesn’t let up until the very last page.” - Mary Lawrence, author of The Alchemist’s Daughter “Adverse Effects is a ‘step on the gas pedal and hold on tight’ read.
Memorable characters and a chilling plot are certain to keep the reader turning pages deep into the night.” - Leonard Goldberg, author of the Daughter of Sherlock Holmes mysteries “A riveting adventure into the world of memory control where nightmarish consequences await.
Five enthusiastic stars for Joel Shulkin’s medical thriller, a fascinating and gripping debut.” “Fast-paced with nail-biting twists and turns, Adverse Effects plunges you into the pharmacological world of memory manipulation and leaves you on the edge of your seat. Perilously balanced between an unknown past and a terrifying future, if she wants to survive, Cristina must stay on the medication and unlock those memories before it’s too late-even if the adverse effects of the drug could destroy her. He seems to know more about her life than she does and says she holds a secret that puts her life in danger. Then an enigmatic, possibly dangerous man appears at Cristina’s bus stop.
But discontinuing it would mean forgetting everything she’s recalled and losing herself. And as Cristina’s memories return, with them come violent visions and an incessant voice in her head. Until one of her patients, a successful accountant, jumps from an eight-story window to his death. And, like them, she remembers a little more each day. Desperate to become herself again, she pops the same experimental drug she prescribes to her patients. She understands her patients’ suffering better than most, because she’s lost her memories, too. Determined to help her amnesiac patients recover their lives, Boston psychiatrist Cristina Silva is achieving near-miraculous results by prescribing Recognate, a revolutionary new memory-recovery drug now in trials.
