Even though he has little use of his body, Brady Hartsfield has not lost his appetite for causing pain and mayhem in the novel End of Watch by Stephen King. A brain injury coupled with experimental drugs give Brady the ability not only to move things telepathically but also take control of other people’s minds and bodies.
