Nerve Endings

The New York Times Bestseller

By the author of Back Bay and Cape Cod

In the war for America's heart and mind, there will be one winner.

And no mercy.

A media colossus is about to be born, thanks to the pending merger between the powerful Lawrence/Sunshine Productions and MacGregor Communications, the even more awesome cable-TV empire. At the same time, a breathless cross-country pursuit, from Maine's rocky coast to Hollywood's glitter palaces, is soon to reach its climax. It will join James Whiting, a man already fighting for his life, with Jeanne Darrow, the young widow far too close to a secret that kills. And what it will uncover about the unholy union between two entertainment giants could save the soul of a nation-at the price of one final, unthinkable sacrifice. From acclaimed novelist William Martin, this is Nerve Endings...the national bestseller that confirms his standing in the top ranks of today's storytellers.

"A thriller-reader's joy - smart, scary, thought-provoking. Impossible to put down." - Stephen King
