James FitzGerald

James FitzGerald is born into the gothic house of Dr. Gerald FitzGerald, his long dead grandfather, a brilliant yet tormented pathologist of Irish blood and epic accomplishment, whose vaccines saved untold lives but whose memory has been mysteriously erased from public consciousness. As the boy watches his own father, Jack–also an eminent doctor–plunge into a suicidal psychosis, he intuits, as the psychiatrists do not, some unspeakable secret buried like a tumour deep in the multi-generational layers of the family unconscious. Growing into manhood, he knows in his bones that he must stalk an ancient curse before it stalks him. To set himself free, he must break the silence and put words to the page.
