Overview

After a series of murders in Virginia Beach, newspaper reporter Catherine O'Rourke experiences disturbing dreams that detail each crime. To aid the investigation, she shares them with a detective working the case. But her plan backfires when she's arrested as the main suspect. Catherine turns to Las Vegas lawyer Quinn Newberg, a high-priced specialist in the insanity defense who believes Catherine may be suffering from dissociative personality disorder. Quinn knows that insanity cases are unpredictable, but nothing could have prepared him for this. To win, or even survive, Quinn needs more than his famed legal maneuvering—he'll need a miracle.

Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

High-priced attorney Quinn Newberg and multiple homicide defendant Catherine O'Rourke both have problems, but not quite on the same scale. The savvy Las Vegas lawyer realizes that this case will require all his skills as an insanity defense specialist. For Catherine, things are even more complicated. She knows that she's neither guilty nor crazy; but she also realizes that nobody will believe her claim that her intimate knowledge of the crimes derives from paranormal dream. Soulful fiction.
