    About this ebook

    An admired and lauded surgeon climbs to the top of his profession. But his callous and questionably moral determination angers colleagues and friends who vow to destroy him.

When his world of wealth and privilege collapses, only time can reveal if he rebuilds his life to garner always-desired esteem.
