San Francisco attorney Mike Webster does not lose medical-malpractice
cases. But his stellar reputation and faith are put to the test when he
agrees to defend Dr. Johanna Anderson, a brilliant and beautiful
psychologist. Jo is accused of failing to prevent the death of Seth
Bell, a senator's son she was treating with a revolutionary
technology-assisted therapy called the Mind's Eye. The controversial
technique provides insights into what patients are thinking and feeling
and determines whether they're telling the truth--so why didn't it
detect that Seth was suicidal?
As the case unfolds, a shadowy firm, Horizon Finance, sees a golden
opportunity to profit by seizing the Mind's Eye and auctioning it to
intelligence services around the world. And Horizon will stop at
nothing--not even murder--to succeed. As the danger escalates, Mike and
Jo feel the heat of a mutual attraction. But when Mike's loyal
paralegal, Val, unearths evidence that could blow the case apart, Mike
realizes he stands to lose much more than just a verdict.
