And Nicholas LoBrutto Dr. Brown's new patient who has three months to live has a very strange idea: that Peter Brown and Pietro Brwna might - just might - be the same person ... Dr. Peter Brown is an intern at Manhattan's worst hospital with a talent for medicine a shift from hell and a past he'd prefer to keep hidden. Whether it's a blocked circumflex artery or a plan to land a massive malpractice suit he knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Pietro "Bearclaw" Brwna is a hitman for the mob with a genius for violence a well-earned fear of sharks and an overly close relationship with the Federal Witness Relocation Program. More likely to leave a trail of dead gangsters than a molecule of evidence he's the last person you want to see in your hospital room. Nicholas LoBrutto aka Eddy Squillante is Dr. Brown's new patient with three months to live and a very strange idea: that Peter Brown and Pietro Brwna might - just might - be the same person ... Now with the mob the government and death itself descending on the hospital Peter has to buy time and do whatever it takes to keep his patients himself and his last shot at redemption alive. To get through the next eight hours - and somehow beat the reaper. Spattered in adrenaline-fueled action and bone-saw-sharp dialogue Beat the Reaper is a debut thriller so utterly original you won't be able to guess what happens next and so shockingly entertaining you won't be able to put it down.
