The Mortgaged Soul

In the rain-slicked city of Millfield, Arcadia, waitress Elena Marchetti trades her gritty independence for the gilded prison of a political dynasty. When her husband, State Prosecutor Julian Croft, begins a silent regime of neuroleptic injections to have her declared mentally incapacitated, Elena is trapped in a waking nightmare of guardianship fraud. As she claws through layers of medical conspiracy and judicial corruption to prove her own sanity, she discovers that the price of her social ascent is not just her autonomy, but her very identity. A Frederick Forsyth-inspired legal thriller where the crossing of class lines demands the ultimate interest.
