I am looking for a fiction book that I read in 2004 or 2005...can't remember the title or author. It was about a man who takes this drug who makes him super-focused, and he gets a promotion at work (on Wall St. ). Everything goes well until the drug starts making him blackout, etc.It took place in NYC, and it was a paperback with a black cover with green.

I believe it was called "The Dark ____________" but I could be wrong. Thanks for your help! Asked by bridgegirl 44 months ago Similar questions: fiction book read 2004 2005 remember title author Arts > Books.

It may be "The Dark Fields" by Alan Glynn. The Dark Fields - Alan Glynn From Publishers Weekly Bordering on techno-thriller territory, this slick, suspenseful debut imagines a new breed of "smart drug" that produces some deadly side effects. After complaining about life in desperate times to his drug dealer/ex-brother-in-law Vernon, divorced Manhattan copywriter Eddie Spinola is tempted by the glittering promise of MDT-48, an illegal, nearly unknown designer medication guaranteed to spike intelligence and personality in mere minutes.It really works, but Eddie’s initial rush is so mind-blowing that even discovering Vernon’s murdered body (and a hidden stash of cash and pills) barely interrupts his growing addiction.

He chooses to ignore the mounting side effects of MDT-48: piercing headaches, intense bouts of rage and "trip-switching," a phenomenon in which time moves with a stop-motion quality. Day trading on the stock market like a seasoned professional, Eddie soon becomes an immensely wealthy junkie armed with awe-inspiring artistic and financial brainpower. But when he’s implicated in the brutal murder of a high-profile artist’s wife and also linked to pharmaceutical espionage, his perfect new world unravels and the shocking truth about MDT-48’s origin and purpose is revealed.

Glynn’s sustained, rapid-fire pace hurls readers headfirst toward a gripping, if bleak, conclusion that makes for some breathless page-turning. Dublin-based Glynn, who lived in New York for four years, gets the frenzied pace of the city just right. And though Eddie’s demise is foreshadowed from the opening paragraph, his likability as a protagonist serves the swift and thrilling narrative well.

Fine secondary characters like shady Russian loan shark Gennady and Eddie’s ex-wife Melissa appear in many scenes, but the reader remains riveted to Eddie’s fate in this impeccably imagined and executed debut. Sources: http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Fields-Alan-Glynn/dp/1582342733/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
