c2012., Steerforth Press Summary Note: "James Ryan was there whenever and wherever the world changed: in the Middle East, in the Balkans, in the former Soviet bloc. But now he can't remember these events; his past is vanishing, except the summer of his fifteenth year following his mother's death. It was the summer his father told him to call him Kurt. The summer the mysterious and enchanting Vera burst into their lonely, silent lives. The summer his own world opened, then irrevocably changed. James, at fifty-two, suffers from early onset Alzheimer's. His story unravels through the clear glimpses he retains of that long ago time in Philadelphia and along the Atlantic shore, and through the desperate attempts of his wife and his nurse to bring him back to the present, if only for stolen momements."--P. [2] of cover.

c2015., Adult, Atria Books Call No: Fic Cle Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Jerry Grey is known to most of the world by his crime writing pseudonym, Henry Cutter--a name that has been keeping readers at the edge of their seats for more than a decade. Recently diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at the age of forty-nine, Jerry's crime writing days are coming to an end. His twelve books tell stories of brutal murders committed by bad men, of a world out of balance, of victims finding the darkest forms of justice. As his dementia begins to break down the wall between his life and the lives of the characters he has created, Jerry confesses his worst secret: The stories are real. He knows this because he committed the crimes. Those close to him, including the nurses at the care home where he now lives, insist that it is all in his head, that his memory is being toyed with and manipulated by his unfortunate disease. But if that were true, then why are so many bad things happening? Why are people dying?"--Publisher.
