À propos de l'auteur
Paul Boor is a Harvard trained pathologist and scientist, presently Professor at the oldest medical school west of the Mississippi, in Galveston, Texas. His novel THE BLOOD NOTES OF PETER MALLOW is a futuristic biomedical thriller; his second, THE ICE MERCHANT, an historical thriller about anatomic dissection in early medical schools, the illicit body trade, and the search for a cure for yellow fever. He is also a poet and the author of WHAT PALMS KNOW, a collection of narrative, lyrical poetry exploring the sublime, the ordinary, and the scientific. His work addresses "real science" and bioterrorism, both historically and in the modern world. In his newest novel, AN ELLIPSE OF SKIN, Dr. Boor explores how one must overcome the destructive influences of war, and one's own human frailties, to become a scientist.

Joe learns that this patient, a renowned anti-war activist, has died suddenly and unexpectedly-autopsy reveals a brain turned to mush!
