A Jewish psychiatrist, haunted by guilt and recurring nightmares of the electric chair, dedicates his life to healing the poor--before being accused of murdering women across America. Confronting certain execution, he prays for the first time: that his lover remain with him until his death. But the doctor has other allies: a lawyer seeking public sympathy; a retired presidential adviser to educate him on power and corruption; and a fallen minister who believes him Christlike, even, at times, the long awaited Messiah.
This rich, complex novel, bursting with characterizations of the successful yet lost, celebrates the power of love and redemption, and search for enduring values.
Stanley Goldstein is an author and psychologist who has appeared on national broadcasts including The Larry King Show and CourtTV.
