From all appearances, Dr. Lorenzo Giordano is living the perfect life. He has movie star looks, a thriving neurosurgical practice at a prestigious New York hospital, a beautiful home, a stunning wife, newborn twin sons, and a precious one year-old daughter. However his whole world begins to disintegrate when he finds himself unable to timely pay his secret gambling debt to "the Viper," the head of a Long Island organized crime family. Given the threat of terrifying harm to his entire family, the doctor has to decide whether to accept the alternative solution offered by the Viper that would wipe his debt clean and ensure that his family would remain unharmed. But his acceptance of that offer would initiate a series of unimaginable consequences for innocent parties who would find themselves unwittingly entangled in this web of deceit. How far would the neurosurgeon go to eliminate his hefty debt and still be able to justify the unimaginable repercussions? As the involuntary heroine of the story becomes enmeshed in a plan for revenge--discovering kidnappings, torture, murders, suicides, and more--she plots to seek justice for the innocent victims. The reader will be enthralled as the plot weaves itself through surprising twists and turns that eventually result in an unexpected but satisfying conclusion.
