Blind psychiatrist Mark Angelotti has just enrolled in a treatment program that holds out hope of restoring his eyesight when he again becomes entangled in a case that is rocking the Chicago legal community. After defending the manufacturer of a powerful antipsychotic drug against product-liability claims, attorney Jane Barrett is on trial for murder when her lover dies of an overdose. In this follow-up to Dante's Wood, Angelotti is called in to help, but he pays a dreadful price to free Barrett, and a killer is still at large.
