Her mother welcomes her home from school with kisses and cookies. When her father is murdered, an innocent victim in a drive by shooting, her sheltered life spirals downward into gloom.  Her once stay-at-home mother is forced to go to work cleaning offices at night.  Instead of enjoying her carefree teenage years hanging with her friends, Eileen is relegated to babysitting her two younger sisters. One night she sneaks out on them. Trying to cook something, they die in a fire.  Tormented and wanting to kill herself, Eileen runs away from home.  At sixteen she is pregnant and living with a drug dealer.  At twenty-one she is on death row, falsely accused of killing a state senator’s son.  At thirty-two she is executed.  Or is she? “Beyond Guilty” is a high concept thriller based on the reality where the wrongly convicted spend years on death row then are found innocent, and the development of the latest nanotech drugs that have the potential to virtually wipe out all disease.  Reviews of the manuscript: “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. “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 Writers’ Association Nanomedicine as portrayed in “Beyond Guilty” is real.  Robert A. Freitas Jr., Senior Research Fellow at the Institute For Molecular Manufacturing has written the essay at the end of the book outlining the progress of this revolutionary medicine.  “I enjoyed the book,” he said.  “It’s a good read.  The ending has a neat wrap-up with almost all the loose ends nicely taken care of.” Read an excerpt by clicking on CH 1 BEYOND above.
