Delirious
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
Someone is playing mind games with a cyber genius in this "fiendishly inventive psychological thriller" by the author of Stolen (Lee Child).
Charlie Giles is at the top of his game. An electronics superstar, he's sold his startup to a giant Boston firm, where he's now senior director. He's treated like a VIP everywhere he goes . . . until everything in Charlie's neatly ordered world starts to go terrifyingly wrong.
Charlie's mother is hospitalized, his prestigious job is in jeopardy, his inventions are wrenched away from him, and one by one, his former colleagues are being murdered. Every shred of evidence points to Charlie as a cold-blooded killer. And soon he is unable to tell whether he's succumbed to the pressures of work and become the architect of his own destruction, or whether he's the victim of a relentless, diabolical attack. Now he must save his own life—all the while realizing that nothing can be trusted, least of all his own fractured mind.
"Hits all the right notes. Terrific stuff." —John T. Lescroart
"A high-speed thrill ride, filled with shocks and mind-bending twists." —Tess Gerritsen
"Not just a great thriller debut, but a great thriller, period." —Lee Child

Someone is playing mind games with a cyber genius in this "fiendishly inventive psychological thriller" by the author of Stolen (Lee Child).
Charlie Giles is at the top of his game. An electronics superstar, he's sold his startup to a giant Boston firm, where he's now senior director. He's treated like a VIP everywhere he goes . . . until everything in Charlie's neatly ordered world starts to go terrifyingly wrong.
Charlie's mother is hospitalized, his prestigious job is in jeopardy, his inventions are wrenched away from him, and one by one, his former colleagues are being murdered. Every shred of evidence points to Charlie as a cold-blooded killer. And soon he is unable to tell whether he's succumbed to the pressures of work and become the architect of his own destruction, or whether he's the victim of a relentless, diabolical attack. Now he must save his own life—all the while realizing that nothing can be trusted, least of all his own fractured mind.

December 6, 2010
Palmer fails to make the most of a promising premise in his uneven debut, a psychological thriller set in Massachusetts. Charlie Giles, a top software engineer at SoluCent, has developed InVision, a supersophisticated car entertainment system that's poised to become the next big thing. Anne Pedersen, a low-level SoluCent marketing employee, tips Giles off that one of his superiors, Jerry Schmidt, will argue against a deal with GM to make InVision standard. When Giles crashes an executive team meeting and confronts Schmidt, Schmidt says he's always supported the deal. Giles's inability to prove that Pedersen works for SoluCent or even exists leads to his getting fired. Giles fears he's falling victim to his family history of schizophrenia after finding a note in his own handwriting listing names of SoluCent executives marked for death. While Giles's unsettling and rapid fall from grace intrigues, a hokey ending will strike many as a copout.

"Hits all the right notes. Terrific stuff." --John T. Lescroart
Charlie's prestigious job and his inventions are wrenched away from him. His family is targeted, and his former employers are dying gruesomely, picked off one by one. Every shred of evidence points to Charlie as a cold-blooded killer. And soon he is unable to tell whether he's succumbed to the pressures of work and become the architect of his own destruction. . .or whether he's the victim of a relentless, diabolical attack.
