Dr. Andrew Chapman, a black psychiatrist, is charged with manslaughter when a severely retarded girl dies in his care during a risky — and some say barbaric — elctro-shock procedure. When it turns out that the doctor and the girl's mother were having an affair, the press is about to have a field day. That is, unless Gideon can unravel the many twisted threads of truth, battle a county steeped in racial strife, and lock horns with a tough, ambitious, female prosecutor in a courtroom set to explode....
