More about the book

It's been over thirty years since New York City medical examiner Jack Stapleton graduated college and lost touch with former classmates Shawn Doherty and Kevin Murray. Once a respected ophthalmologist, Jack's life was altered by a tragic accident that shattered his family. Now remarried to fellow medical examiner Laurie Montgomery and a father, Jack's life seems stable. However, a post-mortem on a young college student treated by a chiropractor prompts him to delve into alternative medicine, questioning why some seek care outside traditional practices. Meanwhile, Shawn, now a renowned archaeologist and biblical scholar, has received permission for a final dig beneath Saint Peter's in Rome, despite his grudge against the Catholic Church. His startling discovery carries significant ecclesiastical and medical implications. When Kevin, now Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York, learns of Shawn's findings, he becomes desperate to suppress them to protect his political ambitions within the Church. Kevin reaches out to Jack for help in safeguarding this explosive secret, one that could change lives forever.
