The Price of Compassion

The Golden City is in peril…and so is Tom Justice. 

"A well-thought-out legal drama, full of intrigue and duplicity." Kirkus Reviews

An absorbing tale of medicine and morality in turn of the twentieth century America. Former surgeon Tom Justice sits in a San Francisco jail on murder charges. The attorney hired to defend him is perplexed: the doctor hasn’t confessed to the crime—if there even was a crime—but why won’t he declare his innocence? 



The reasons are complex, reaching back to Tom’s youth and influencing the decisions he makes about his career, friends, and loved ones.
