With page-turning ferocity, Will Staeger delivers a stylistic blend of riveting action, thrilling suspense, and starkly alluring characters in this classic tale of espionage laced with a twist of modern-day terror . . .

The quasi-retired, Virgin Islands-based CIA operative known only as W. Cooper lives his life free-diving and philandering along a quarter-mile of white sand—a necessary slice of paradise for a man seeking to kill the pain of torturous memories. His life of leisure is rudely interrupted, however, when he's tapped by the local police to "dispose" of a bullet-ridden, mysteriously scarred body deposited on the island's shore by a passing hurricane. Sensing the cops are merely looking to duck the labor of a proper homicide investigation, Cooper declines—only to encounter a haunting form of déjà vu that brings with it a strange sense of comradeship with the anonymous victim. Knowing he'd be better off leaving well enough alone, Cooper decides to investigate where no one else seems willing.

At CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, junior analyst Julie Laramie discovers, almost by accident, evidence of a massive, clandestine military buildup in China—and elsewhere. Alerting her superiors in her typically alarmist fashion, she's reprimanded for violating Agency protocol and told to leave policymaking to the elected officials. Like Cooper, Laramie knows she should walk away, but her gut drives her on a course toward career suicide—and a bounty of evidence only she seems to see. What she sees? A labyrinthine, untraceable terrorist plot designed to cripple the United States.

Led down parallel paths littered with a uniquely dark and compelling cast of enemies—a zombifying Haitian witch doctor, a slave-trading albino serial killer, and a Creatine-boosted behemoth bodybuilder to name just three—Cooper and Laramie find themselves drawn together from opposite ends of a terrifying conspiracy. With the clock ticking down, the two realize they may be all that stands in the way of the annihilation of the existing world order.

A dynamic and complex story featuring powerful writing, magnetic characters, and a terrifyingly realistic premise, Will Staeger's debut marks him as the newest star on the thriller horizon. So beware . . . like the Caribbean cocktail with which this book shares its name, Painkiller is deceptively tasty—and exceedingly dangerous.

Prescription drugs have hit our lives in a big way. While years ago we knew very little about different names of medications, today people know these names off the top of their head. Drugs are advertised on television and even available on the internet. The protocol in the medical profession is to prescribe these drugs to patients complaining of symptoms, despite the fact that some of them are highly addictive or have adverse withdrawal effects. The four most common conditions for which addictive prescription drugs are prescribed are pain, insomnia, depression and anxiety. In many cases, all of these go hand in hand. The pharmaceutical companies have a powerful lobby. It used to take the FDA forever and a day to approve drugs for use. Today, medications are getting passed through the ranks with lightening speed. If you think that medication in the United States is safer because it has been tested, think again. The “tests” that are run are usually done by the company and are based on the results of 500 or so people. Sometimes more and sometimes less. Long term effects of drugs like Zoloft, a popular anti-depressant, are not known. The drugs simply haven’t been around that long in order to be studied for any period of time. In addition to bullying the FDA, the pharmaceutical companies are also targeting the American public with countless advertisements. They know the power of advertising and that patients are becoming much more opinionated when it comes to their medical care. Patients hear often about the mistakes that doctors make and that the shouldn’t be trusted. It is up to each individual to make sure that he or she trusts only themselves and makes their own decisions regarding their medical care. The doctor? He or she is just the middleman between you and the drugs that you saw advertised on television that will give you everything you need, right away. Our culture encourages this type of reasoning and instant gratification. Each generation wants things faster and faster and is willing to pay more money for convenience. The idea of waiting in line is abhorrent to most of us. We demand instant relief and satisfaction in everything that we do. Because of this, we are creating a demand for addictive, prescription drugs. The answer is to stop looking for instant gratification and start living using alternative means to control chronic pain, alleviate stress and cure mild depression...and this book will show you how you can live fully and healthily without prescription medications. .
