The classic thriller and “New York Times” bestseller is reissued with a new look. Prone to violent seizures, Harry Benson undergoes an experimental procedure that implants electrodes in his brain, sending soothing pulses to the brain’s pleasure canyon. However, Harry learns how to control the pulses and increase their frequency. Harry then escapes–a homicidal maniac loose in the city–and nothing will stop his murderous rampage. Reissue.
