Argus Ward is a hero with a secret. Everyone knows he once saved the President's life, but very few people are aware that he's also a paranoid schizophrenic. Luckily, he's been able to keep his condition under control with medication......until he sees a naked flight attendant on a corporate jet and begins a slow, torturous descent into insanity.Argus suspects someone discovered his secret and sabotaged his medication to make him go crazy.But how can he know anything for sure when he can't even distinguish what's real from what isn't?And therein lies the premise of Eric Christopherson's "Crack-Up" - one of the BEST thrillers I've read in ages.Christopherson is a master storyteller. His first book is easily in the same class as the giants of the genre."Crack-Up" is an incredible debut novel and an absolute must-read.
