All hell breaks loose... ...in Little Bang, Texas, when two citizens are found shot to death in their luxury cars, each with one hand missing — chopped off! One victim is the wife of TexNext Industries CEO Gideon Moore; the other is Moore’s chief financial officer Frank Winckelmann. As reported by Gazette city editor John Wiltsey, the tragedies first appear to implicate Moore, a businessman who is already in serious professional and marital trouble. But The Chopper Case, as it is known locally, soon becomes the epicenter of further fatalities and mysteries which involve a surprising number of logical suspects — beautiful divorcees, mistresses, athletes, executives, rogue cops, private eyes, high tech engineers. If the closing chapters of Lewis Kornfeld’s ingenious fast-paced novel lead you to believe its multiple manhunts and torrid love affairs just fade away without certifiable denouements...well, you might be right. But then again, you might be terribly wrong! • Longtime president of Radio Shack and father of the first personal computer to be widely retailed nationally (the TRS-80 in 1977), Lewis Kornfeld turned to authoring after retiring as vice chairman of the then parent corporation, Tandy Corp. His first book, To Catch a Mouse, Make a Noise Like a Cheese, a best-selling primer on advertising and marketing, was published by Prentice-Hall, later by the University of Texas Press and The Summit Group. He has B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Denver, and an honorary (LHD) degree from Boston University. A native of Boston MA, and a WWII Marine Corps officer, he lives in Fort Worth TX.

In any war the health of a fit soldier can drastically change in an instant and so it was for the men and women in the Vietnam war. While the consequences of major physical injury from a high velocity gunshot wound or from shrapnel from an exploding anti-personnel mine or from the explosive effects of an artillery shell or mortar were obvious, the effects of psychological injury were not. Adverse psychological effects resulting from war have been known for many years and labels such as Shell Shock or Battle Fatigue were applied. However since the Vietnam experience and subsequent research, those adverse psychological effects are now known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD can result from experiencing a near death incident, or the violent injury or death of a mate or from treating the major wounds of battle casualties. A high percentage recover from the acute effects of psychological injury but for many, the experience may be the start of a chronic disorder that can affect the well-being of sufferers for the remainder of their lives. Dave Morgan gives a detailed and clear account of his battle with PTSD. He describes his traumatic experience in Vietnam and how PTSD gradually emerged after his return to Australia. He experienced negative thinking, confusion, intense anger, alcohol abuse, and thoughts of suicide. This caused great distress. He expresses his experience adn that of his family frankly and opens a window to understanding the problems of a man suffering from PTSD. In this he has made a valuable contribution and his book adds value to those who are interested in this chronic disorder. There is no completely effective treatment for PTSD, but people like Dave Morgan are doing all they can to reach that goal.
