However, Benedict's mission is particularly urgent and particularly personal, for he was born with achondroplasia--he's a dwarf. He's also a man desperate for love and acceptance, and when he finds both in Jean, a shy librarian, he stumbles upon an opportunity to correct the injustice of his own, at least to him, unlucky genes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Entertaining and tender, this witty and surprisingly erotic novel reveals the beauty and drama of scientific inquiry as it informs us of the simple passions against which even the most brilliant mind is rendered powerless.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Dr. Gabriel Stanton takes his usual morning bike ride, drops off the dog with his ex-wife, and heads to the lab where he studies incurable prion diseases for the CDC. His first phone call is from a hospital resident who has an urgent case she thinks he needs to see.

It is the date, they claim, when the ancient Maya calendar predicts the world will end.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; In Los Angeles, two weeks before, all is calm. Dr. Gabriel Stanton takes his usual morning bike ride, drops off the dog with his ex-wife, and heads to the lab where he studies incurable prion diseases for the CDC. His first phone call is from a hospital resident who has an urgent case she thinks he needs to see. Meanwhile, Chel Manu, a Guatemalan American researcher at the Getty Museum, is interrupted by a desperate, unwelcome visitor from the black market antiquities trade who thrusts a duffel bag into her hands.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; By the end of the day, Stanton, the foremost expert on some of the rarest infections in the world, is grappling with a patient whose every symptom confounds and terrifies him. And Chel, the brightest young star in the field of Maya studies, has possession of an illegal artifact that has miraculously survived the centuries intact: a priceless codex from a lost city of her ancestors. This extraordinary record, written in secret by a royal scribe, seems to hold the answer to her life&amp;rsquo;s work and to one of history&amp;rsquo;s great riddles: why the Maya kingdoms vanished overnight.

Her alarm turns to terror when she learns the murdered man was a predator with victims of his own. Fearing she may be guilty of a lethal crime she can&amp;rsquo;t recall, Maura races to recover the missing hours that hold the truth&amp;mdash;and that hide a shocking secret.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;Don&amp;rsquo;t miss the thrilling preview of Tess Gerritsen&amp;rsquo;s new Rizzoli &amp;amp; Isles novel, &lt;i&gt;Last to Die&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

On the tenement rooftop above is the corpse belonging to that hand, a red-haired woman dressed in black, her head nearly decapitated. Two strands of silver hair&amp;mdash;not human&amp;mdash;cling to her body. They are homicide cop Jane Rizzoli&amp;rsquo;s only clues, but they&amp;rsquo;re enough for her and medical examiner Maura Isles to make the startling discovery: that this violent death had a chilling prequel. Nineteen years earlier, a horrifying murder-suicide in a Chinatown restaurant left five people dead. One woman connected to that massacre is still alive&amp;mdash;a mysterious martial arts master who is now the target of someone, or something, deeply and relentlessly evil. Cracking a crime with bone-chilling echoes of an ancient Chinese legend, Rizzoli and Isles must outwit an unseen enemy with centuries of cunning&amp;mdash;and a swift, avenging blade.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don&amp;rsquo;t miss Tess Gerritsen&amp;rsquo;s short story &amp;ldquo;Freaks&amp;rdquo; in the back of the book.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Mount Misery is a prestigious facility set in the rolling green hills of New England, its country club atmosphere maintained by generous corporate contributions. Dr. Roy Basch (hero of The House of God) is lucky enough to train there *only to discover doctors caught up in the circus of competing psychiatric theories, and patients who are often there for one main reason: they've got good insurance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the Laws of Mount Misery:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your colleagues will hurt you more than your patients.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On rounds at Mount Misery, it's not always easy for Basch to tell the patients from the doctors: Errol Cabot, the drug cowboy whose practice provides him with guinea pigs for his imaginative prescription cocktails . . . Blair Heiler, the world expert on borderlines (a diagnosis that applies to just about everybody) . . . A. K. Lowell, n&amp;#233;e Aliyah K. Lowenschteiner, whose Freudian analytic technique is so razor sharp it prohibits her from actually speaking to patients . . . And Schlomo Dove, the loony, outlandish shrink accused of having sex with a beautiful, well-to-do female patient.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the Laws of Mount Misery:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Psychiatrists specialize in their defects. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For Basch the practice of psychiatry soon becomes a nightmare in which psychiatrists compete with one another to find the best ways to reduce human beings to blubbering drug-addled pods, or incite them to an extreme where excessive rage is the only rational response, or tie them up in Freudian knots. And all the while, the doctors seem less interested in their patients' mental health than in a host of other things *managed care insurance money, drug company research grants and kickbacks, and their own professional advancement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the Laws of Mount Misery:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In psychiatry, first comes treatment, then comes diagnosis.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What The House of God did for doctoring the body, Mount Misery does for doctoring the mind. A practicing psychiatrist, Samuel Shem brings vivid authenticity and extraordinary storytelling gifts to this long-awaited sequel, to create a novel that is laugh-out-loud hilarious, terrifying, and provocative. Filled with biting irony and a wonderful sense of the absurd, Mount Misery tells you everything you'll never learn in therapy. And it's a hell of a lot funnier.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
