"I thought that Chris Fahy's novel Fever 42 was both wildly funny and surprisingly sad. The combination made me think of the early J.D. Salinger period. ... I think it will attract a lot of attention. Chris is a wonderful writer." - Stephen King. Ted Wharton, 42, a teacher at Whitman High in Somerside, New Jersey, lives a routine suburban life with his wife and kids. Disenchanted after fifteen years of teaching, going thru the motions at work -and home-he feels the clock is ticking. Then it happens: on the same day that one of Ted's colleagues drops dead of a heart attack, Joy, 17, a bright and stunningly beautiful senior in one of his classes, makes a play for him. And he puts up no resistance. Fully alive for the first time in years, he revels in his wild trysts with Joy -many at Whitman High. Living on the edge, obsessed with Joy, but realizing the ultimate disaster this will become, tries to end his relationship with her. Only to see his world spiral out of control.

From the Publisher:
"Fever 42" is one of Christopher Fahy's finest written novels. As soon as I finished it, I knew that I had to publish it. Discovering the emotions and turmoil that Ted Wharton gets himself into shows that anyone can reach a "fever" in the mid-forties. Discover how Ted handles it.. and how he attempts to pull himself out of this sweat drenched moment in time. Which he may ... or may not, regret.
