"Spirited Prose" "Twisting Action" "Authentic Dialogue" "A sympathetic Character" "A Strong Female Protagonist" "A Fast Paced Thriller" "Thought Provoking" "Authentic Dialogue" "A Real Winner"  Beyond Guilty is a high concept thriller where a wrongly convicted woman escapes from death row and fights to prove her innocence. Teenager Eileen Robinson lives in an ideal, middle class African-American family in Houston, Texas.  Through a careless act she causes the deaths of her two younger sisters. Alienated from her mother, she runs away from home.  Befriended by a drug dealer, she moves in with him. At twenty-one she is a tormented single mother of two falsely convicted of killing a state senator’s son.  At thirty-two she is executed.  Or is she? Beyond Guilty is more than a fast paced thriller.  It explores the pros and cons of the death penalty and introduces you to nanomedicine, an exciting field of medical science that will bring almost instantaneous cures for cancer, alzheimers, HIV, diabetes and many other diseases. What is nanomedicine? How will nanomedicine affect our lives?  Does nanotechnology have a dark side?  The answers to these questions are the background for Beyond Guilty.  REVIEWS: “Eileen Robinson is a sympathetic, engaging character.  She is a tortured soul, but has hope for reuniting with her children and clearing her name.  You root for her from the beginning.”  Tim Sheard, author of the Lenny Moss crime novels. "The author’s inclusion of the concept of nanomedicine in the plot is articulate and intriguing...His characters are nicely done…Readers who like the thrillers and mysteries with a medical theme should find Beyond Guilty interesting and entertaining, as well as faster-paced than most books in this sub-genre." Von Pittman for The Genreview “This is an intricate plot that clearly draws the battle lines and spells out the dire costs on all sides if they fail.  The resolution is realistic, with even the winner paying a heavy price for struggling.  The core of the story is a scientific morality play.  Harlan Ellison would be proud of this plot.”           Maryland Writer’s Association "In 'Beyond Guilty' Brawer writes a very unusual plot that is engrossing and intriguing. Eileen Robinson is a very resourceful character dealing with each and every adversity thrown her way. Brawer establishes Eileen as a realistic personality with resilience as well as a soft side. After I finished reading 'Beyond Guilty', I had to sit and contemplate the reality of it. Brawer writes spirited prose with authentic dialogue. 'Beyond Guilty' is a stunning thriller!"   http://www.conniesreviews.blogspot.com "BEYOND GUILTY is thought provoking by forcing further thoughts about capital punishment and racial profiling. The characters are uncomfortably realistic and the action is fast-paced. I look forward to future novels by this author." Reviews by Teri.  http://reviewsbyteri.blogspot.com/ "A fascinating subject and a great read.  I read and have read: Margolin, Coben, Fairstein, Baldacci etc. so, I am a good critic, and I rate your latest book (Beyond Guilty) a real winner."

Lynn - See all my reviews    This book catches you in the first couple of pages and doesn't let you go. I didn't know what to expect when I received this book, and was pleasantly surprised. It was a fairly fast read, but kept up the suspense. And it was a fast read because it was a book I didn't want to put down! The characters were as appealing as the plot, and not at all what you would expect. Don't go in expecting to have stereotypes filled, because that is the one thing you won't experience! Great suspense!, March 10, 2010 By  thriller reader (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews I really liked this book. The plot is intricate but at the same time easy to follow. The suspense keeps ratcheting up with each page. The lead character--Eileen--is well done as is her love interest, Mark, and the creepy pursuer, Colonel Springer. What I found interesting was the way nanomedicine was sprinkled in there. I had no idea that was happening. Great beach read! Looking forward to the film!
