Triage

The protagonist, Mark Walsh, a combat photographer covering a skirmish in Kurdistan, barely survives a deadly artillery attack. His colleague and friend, Colin, does not. After a close call in a battlefield hospital, Mark is shipped home to Brooklyn, where his girlfriend, Elena, tries to nurse him back to health. She notices that Mark remains strangely disoriented, and there's evidence of a growing paralysis of his legs. Traumatized, he's reluctant to divulge Colin's fate to Elena, to Colin's wife, Diane--or even to himself.
