Health care scams and a plot to steal a Presidential election. A detective has a stroke, his rehab partner is murdered, and his wife joins him in the investigation. They pursue, and are pursued by, mobsters and undercover government operatives with hidden agendas.
"From Naples, Florida, to Chicago, Illinois, conspiracies abound in FINAL STROKE. Author Michael Beres terrifyingly captures the paralysis and helplessness the infirm must deal with every day of their lives. Scary stuff." -- Julie Hyzy, author of Deadly Blessings and Deadly Interest.
"Michael Beres skillfully leads us into the fragmented, frustrating world of the injured brain, giving us an engrossing story that blends violence with compassion, and an outcome that suggests hope is something worth clinging to." -- David J. Walker, Edgar-nominated author of many novels, including the Wild Onion, Ltd.
Michael Beres' experiences during the Cold War and his interest in the environment have shaped his novels. With degrees in computer science, math, and literature, he worked for the government, holding a top-secret security clearance, and in the private sector, documenting analytical software. His fiction reflects our age of environmental uncertainty and political treachery.
