Publisher's Summary:

It's late at night, and all Jonah Stem wants to do is to get home and fall into bed. Working long hours as a medical student, he's seen enough drama - not to mention enough blood - for one day. But when he hears a scream ring out in the darkness, and an injured woman is on her knees and begging for her life, Jonah finds himself drawn into a dangerous and irrevocable situation. And this situation means trouble. Jonah's intervention will change not only his own life, but also the lives of those he cares about, in ways he never thought possible.

A heart-stopping thriller, masterfully told, Trouble is the story of what can happen when you find yourself in way over your head....

Living In Interesting Times

Medical student Jonah Stem witnesses a man stabbing a woman. He intervenes, kills the assassin and rescues the bleeding damsel. Actually that was the easy part. Jonah returns to his student work at the hospital, and his fifteen minutes of fame from the rescue gradually subsides, but then, one day, the rescued lady, shows up again full of gratitude to her rescuer. Well you can well guess how she shows her gratitude to our handsome young student. Things putt along very nicely for awhile, but then Jonah begins to live, as the Chinese say, in interesting times.

I kind of liked this story. Some reviewers have said the story is implausible. Well that's something that's not new to suspense fiction, but I felt that the novel is reasonably believable. In fact two extremely popular movies have been made in the past that follow the same generic path as this novel. I won't tell you their names because that might convey too much information.

While I didn't expect this to be a medical novel, I was a bit disappointed in the parts of the story that involved Jonah's experiences at the hospital. We really don't get to know any of the people he worked with, and the few anecdotal hospital experiences weren't that engrossing. For entertainment value Jonah could just as well have been an insurance actuary. Still the writing is a cut above average for this genre, and I found it to be a good read.

Bad Bad Love.....

A 3rd year medical student intervenes in a street attack on a young woman and in the process causes the death of the attacker. In the aftermath, he becomes involved in an intense physical relationship with the young woman he rescued, only to find he is being drawn into a psycho drama whose dimensions and depth he only dimly perceives. As his situation becomes crazier so does his mental state as he tries to cope with the stress of his medical school demands and his awareness of the increasingly dangerous psycho/sexual game he's being drawn into by a highly intelligent but twisted manipulator.

First, while it may not be fair to young Kellerman to allude to his famous parents, let me just say "the kid has chops". Treading the line between thriller and Steven Kingesque weirdness, Jesse has an inventive style, and his plumbing of disturbing psychology reminds me of some of his father's earlier works around The Butcher's Theatre era. But, if I hadn't known his parentage, I would still find his work impressive (this being only his 2nd novel). This is a creepy read about contemporary perversity. Not for everyone, but worthwhile.

I have enjoyed the author's other books
