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.
My Take:
This is a new to me author. He does an amazing job at keeping you interested and has many twist and turns throughout his book. If you enjoy suspenseful books I feel you will like this one. It also has psychology and legal issues woven throughout this entire novel.
I will admit I was a little lost at the very beginning but it cleared up pretty quickly. I like all three main characters in this novel and at times liked one more than another. The chapters are short and usually from the point of view of the different characters, yet you understand which character each chapter is from.
Mike Webster is an amazing and good looking lawyer, he does not lose a case. When he is asked to take on this case for Jo he is not so sure it is for him. This is not his normal type of case. Yet he is drawn to Jo and this case in ways he really can’t describe. The machine, The Mind’s Eye, is very interesting. I can see where it is very helpful and where it could also be used to take advantage of others.
This is not my typical genre yet I look forward to reading more from this author. I could totally see this as a movie.
