Synopsis
Struck off and hooked on prescription pills, disgraced American surgeon Ryan Burkett flies to the war-torn Middle East to identify his murdered twin's body. Staring down at the lifeless form in the mortuary, it is as though Burkett is gazing at his own failings. His brother was first and best - the better athlete, better doctor, better son.
With little reason to go home, Burkett agrees to take over his brother's charitable surgical clinic. Within weeks, however, he is taken hostage by Islamic fundamentalists. Forced into withdrawal - from both drugs and his own self-loathing - Burkett becomes convinced that his captors are his brother's murderers, and that revenge may be the only path to redemption.

Brother's Keeper (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When disgraced American doctor Burkett's twin is murdered while working for a Christian medical charity, Burkett travels to war-torn Khandaros to claim his brother's body. Staring down at the lifeless form in the mortuary, it is as though Burkett is gazing at his own failings. His twin was first and best: the better athlete, better doctor; their father's favourite.Hooked on prescription drugs and booze, Burkett has little to go home to, and so he agrees to take over his brother's surgical clinic. He struggles through the days, sliding inexorably into a spiral of drug abuse. Then he and his twin's devoutly Christian colleague Nick are taken hostage by Islamic fundamentalists. Forced into withdrawal, Burkett is nursed by Nick, and mutual suspicion blooms into hatred. As their plight becomes ever more desperate, Burkett becomes convinced that their captors are his brother's murderers, and that revenge may be the path to redemption, even if it means death.Gripping and suspenseful to the last page, Brother's Keeper is a remarkable novel that vividly and unflinchingly explores pain and healing, empathy and enmity, forgiveness and revenge. A powerful, sparse debut novel with a moral crux at its heart, Brother's Keeper explores themes of addiction, guilt, forgiveness and redemption.
