A sub-company to the largest pharmaceutical corporation in the world, located in South Carolina, has fallen victim to a serial killer. Three are dead as they were working to successfully synthesize venoms into drugs that would cure virtually every major human ailment. Aids, cancer, heart disease, Parkinsons and Alzheimers, to name a few, would go away. Cured. The police have a suspect in custody, a Doctor and Professor of Herpetology and Toxicology at the institution conducting the research, and who led the projects. But the Doctor proclaims that she is innocent and is relying on her boyfriend and attorney to prove it. The attorney, Jacob Grantes, is forced to call upon an old friend from South Boston, MA, a private investigator that saved his life at one time. The search for the truth takes the investigator, Warren Dennihan, through the underbelly of Big Pharma, industrial espionage, and the mind of a serial killer.

The few clues left by the murderer lead to more bodies and more devastation in the wake of a birth-right. More lives fall short of their promise. More souls ebb out to oblivion.

The May trial of Chase Bromley grabbed the attention of not only Bostonians, but the entire country as well. While the Hernandez trial was garnering attention, and certainly the Marathon Bombing case in federal court a few doors down, the rape, torture, and murder of Sloane Nichols was in the national spotlight. The accused wasn't a professional athlete or on a terrorist watch list. Chase was, however, the son of the infamous billionaire and property developer Kenneth Bromley, which made him Boston Royalty. Nichols, the former girlfriend of the accused, had been murdered in her own apartment the previous fall. There was no sign of forced entry, meaning Nichols knew her killer. The forensic evidence was stacked against Bromley, who had been seen in the victim's apartment building despite a restraining order. Given the heinous nature of the crimes, the city of Boston wanted to see that justice was executed. The rest of America watched and waited for the inevitable. The third marquee trial in New England that May was similar to the others in that the outcome was a forgone conclusion. The only son of Kenneth Bromley would spend the rest of his life in prison. Or would he? Former detective and current private investigator, Warren Dennihan, finds himself more than simply investigating the Bromley case, but becomes inexorably involved in the trial. Deni will seek out the truth, see that justice prevails for his city. For the nation. For the women in his life. For himself.

Eight months later, the detritus from the crash and some of the human remains have been scraped off the bottom of the ocean, thus beginning the crux of the various investigations.

What seemed originally to be a simple yet horrific drunk driving incident, turns out to be a cross-country search for the truth. Both the imprisoned attorney and Deni must brace themselves for another crash.

Columbia University law professor Linus Hampton has been accused of murdering his wife and New York socialite Ellen Hunt. The Hunt Family, one of the oldest and wealthiest families in the United States, use their own media conglomerate to expose Hampton daily in an effort to attain justice. Money must have been his motive. The prickly law professor stands to inherit hundreds of millions of dollars now that his wife is dead. Hampton must be sent to prison at all costs. Yet inexplicably, despite the onslaught by the Hunt Family, Hampton is acquitted at his murder trial. Double jeopardy applies, and while he cannot be retried in criminal court, the court of public opinion has a different verdict. Hampton is free to walk the streets of Manhattan even if he is branded a murderer. The only recourse for the Hunts is to use their considerable influence over the insurance company to tie up their only daughter's estate. It would be repugnant for Hampton to profit from murdering his wife, inheriting a large portion of the family fortune. All the while, Hampton has proclaimed his innocence. Now acquitted, he is suing Capstone Insurance and Finance-the institution withholding his inherited fortune at the insistence of the Hunt Family-in an effort to claim what is rightfully his by law. With the civil trial looming, Hampton must be deposed to get to the truth once and for all. On the other side of this deposition is a new life, whatever the outcome. He will either be destitute and forced into an ignominious existence, or he will be hundreds of millions of dollars richer and free to do what he wants-wherever he wants to do it. What becomes of the law professor hangs in the balance.
