Head Case

Meet Olivia Zack, neuroscientist, pharmaceutical consultantand murder victim. Its Alice Sebolds The Lovely Bones meets Carl Hiaasens Nature Girl (with a dash of Janet Evanovichs One for the Money) as Olivia embarks on a postmortem quest to deconstruct the events that lead up to her mind-altering death. A comic satire of the influence of the psychopharmaceutical industry on American life, HEAD CASE takes Olivia 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. 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.
