Frank Pierce, a brash EMS medic working the streets of Hell's Kitchen, is being destroyed by the act of saving people. Addicted to the thrill and the mission of the job, Frank is nevertheless drowning in five year's worth of grief and guilt---his own and others'. His wife has left him, he's drinking on the job, and just a month ago he "helped to kill" an eighteen-year-old asthmatic girl. Now she's become the waking nightmare of all his failures: hallucination and projection, and as real to him as his own skin.

With the furious energy of an ambulance run, we follow Frank through two days and nights: into the excitement and dread of the calls and the mad humor that keeps the medics afloat. And we are with him as he faces his newest ghost: the resurrected patient, whose demands to be released into death might be the most sensible thing Frank has heard in months, if only he would listen.

Bringing Out the Dead is riveting and fiercely authentic---a stunning debut novel of extraordinary power and intensity.
