On one hand, Dr.
Alvin Forman is a
soft-spoken
allergist, single
father, and suburban
homeowner. On the
other hand, and to
his own bafflement,
he’s also a serial
killer.
A former child
prodigy, Alvin has
struggled all his
life to reconcile
his desire to save
humanity with his
desire to destroy
it. Now a respected
community member, he
finds himself
meticulously and
ruthlessly
dismembering
patients, loved
ones, and neighbors
between
administering
allergy shots and
raising his troubled
teenaged daughter.
But Alvin is beyond
suspicion. Even
Gloria, an
evangelical
Christian neighbor
who hopes to convert
Alvin as well as see
him happily
remarried, is
clueless about just
how much his soul
actually needs
saving.
What would push a
doctor who has sworn
to protect life to
kill? What demons
haunt such a
troubled mind? And
what happens when he
loses the only thing
that matters to him?
These are the
questions explored
in this
tension-filled,
psychological
thriller. A “why
done it?” (as
opposed to a “who
done it?), Do Not
Go Gentle
affirms modern
forensic science’s
claim that there is
no typical serial
murderer; indeed,
even the sweetest
next-door neighbor
may have a heinous
hidden hobby. |
