Synopsis

When she was ten years old, Veronica Gray disobeyed her father and talked back when she knew she shouldn’t have. Her punishment came in the form of “Taps.”

Fifty years later, Dr. Veronica Gray may seem like a harmless old lady, but with her partner Dr. Mark Ivy, the pain machine was born—a device that can transfer pain from one person to another.

Angela, suffering from fibromyalgia, has trouble finding anyone who believes her. She needs them to measure her pain as much as they need her to test the machine.

This special 20th Anniversary Edition includes the revised text of the novel and a bonus short story, "Dance at My Funeral."

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When she was ten years old, Veronica Laka disobeyed her father, and talked back when she knew she shouldn't have. Her punishment came slowly in the form of the "Taps." As her father holds a nail under her fingernail, he taps it with a hammer just hard enough to draw blood, slowly, one finger at a time . . . Fifty years later Dr. Veronica Laka may seem like a harmless old lady, but with her partner Dr. Mark Ivy, the pain machine was born, a device that can transfer pain from one person to another. First, they have to figure out how to measure pain on levels. Then, they have to find human volunteers, a person who feels the pain, and a doctor to accept it by going "under the wires." But it would never be Veronica. Ever. She can never forget the "Taps."
