Past Aghast

You read about it in the headlines - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has been blamed for a number of behavioral health issues for war veterans but can it cause a person to do heinous deeds which they might otherwise never do in a hundred lifetimes?

Because of his horrendous battleground experiences in Iraq, Colonel Jack Bass, MD, US Army, (ret.), has been left emotionally scarred with severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Jack constantly struggles to manage his severe PTSD and is sometimes unaware of his actions while under the influence of this unwelcome mental demon. As the new Chairman of Anesthesia at Southern Medical Center, Jack Bass thought he'd retired into the tame, civilian job he'd dreamt of, but a series of bizarre murders and deaths have occurred at Southern Medical Center and Jack has unwittingly been swept into the investigation - he soon discovers that his history of PTSD has somehow made him a prime suspect and realizes that a "trial of peers" may have already given him a death sentence!

Jack must determine for the sake of his own sanity, as well as clearing his name, if his PTSD has gone beyond just a cause of recurrent nightmares and has transformed him into a cold-blooded killer.

It can't possibly be true, but...?
