Hero cop Brian Remy wakes up after shooting himself in the head-- and so begins a harrowing tour of a city and country shuddering through the aftershock of a devastating terrorist attack. "In the tradition of Franz Kafka, Joseph Heller, and Don DeLillo, comes this extraordinary story of searing humor and sublime horror, of blindness, bewilderment, and that achingly familiar feeling that the world has suddenly stopped making sense."--Publisher.
