One day it seemed Dr. Eric Parrish woke up on the wrong side
of his life. He was on his way to
divorcing his wife and subsequently separated from his little daughter. He found solace in his work, an area in which
he excelled. See, Dr. Eric Parrish was a
psychiatrist and after being a patient himself some years before, he not only
had the knowledge and expertise, but also the personal experience to help
others. It wasn't a surprise then when long-time friend and fellow doctor
Laurie Fortunato asked Eric for his professional input on a situation, a
situation that resulted in Eric seeing a new patient in his private practice. Little did Dr. Parrish know that his life was
about to change...just about every 15 minutes, it seemed.
While in the midst of
chaos and trauma with his new patient, Dr. Parrish finds himself in the middle
of a sexual harassment claim made by a subordinate at the hospital. Dr. Parrish is suspended until the facts (or
lies) are sorted out. If all of this
isn't bad enough, there's a sociopath out there executing a plan to fully
destroy Eric Parrish. How do we know this?
The sociopath was kind enough (even though the sociopath doesn't actually feel
kindness) to tell us about the upcoming plan of destruction. Who is the sociopath is another question all
together. Lisa Scottoline artfully gives us clues to this person, but there are
so many twists and turns, it's hard to figure out who Dr. Parrish's nemesis
really is.
Will Dr. Parrish's life make a turn for the better or is it
already too late for him?
