This story is a fast moving, modern day thriller that surprises the reader with its 'Hitchcock'- type ending. It follows Stanley Diamond, the main character from his humble beginnings in Boston as the only child of a lower middle-income family. Every aspect of his family life and practice is initially ideal. Then, as if he had enraged the wrath of the Gods, Stanley Diamond's world collapsed around him. His wife and one of his children are killed in an airplane accident and his best friend and partner reveals that he hates the daily practice of law and leaves the firm to accept a judgeship. Although initially stunned by this one-two punch, Stanley goes on to develop a close relationship with his remaining daughter Jennifer while devoting his efforts to his career. The story follows a day in the life of Stanley Diamond following his tactful negotiations of business mergers, court appearances and general management of the expansion and operation of a law firm. While representing a high school friend, Midge Robinson, who was a classic abused spouse, he directs his private investigator, Ted Robbins to check the well-being of a child she had given up for adoption twenty years before. His investigation reveals an organization dealing in adoptions, in-vitro fertilization and frozen embryos with gross income sufficient to make it a Fortune 500 company.
