THE SECOND OPINION by Michael Palmer — Dr. Thea Sperelakis, diagnosed as a teen with Asperger’s syndrome, has a brilliant medical mind, but her difficulty in dealing with hidden agendas and interpersonal conflicts have led her to leave the complex, money-driven dynamics of the hospital, and to embrace working with the poor patients of Doctors Without Borders. Thea’s rewarding life in Africa is turned upside-down when her father, Petros, is severely injured by a hit-and-run driver. He is in a deep coma. No one thinks he will survive. Two of Petros’ other children, both physicians, battle Thea by demanding that treatment for their father be withheld. As she uncovers the facts surrounding the disaster, it seems to be no accident. Petros, himself, is the only witness. Who would want him dead? The answers are trapped in his brain … until he looks at Thea and begins slowly to blink a terrifying message.

After being questioned and cleared by Detective Chief Superintendent Robert MacFarlane of Scotland Yard’s elite Special Branch, she is drawn into MacFarlane’s personal fiefdom as a special adviser on the case. Soon Maisie becomes involved in a race against time to find a man who proves he has the knowledge and will to inflict death and destruction on thousands of innocent people. And before this harrowing case is over, she must navigate a darkness not encountered since she was a nurse in wards filled with shell-shocked men.
