Peter Flanagan was once New York's most brilliant trial attorney—until a drunk-driving accident killed his wife and daughter and destroyed his career. Now, a decade later, he's a recovering alcoholic grinding out a living at a Manhattan law firm, haunted by guilt and going through the motions of survival.
Everything changes when a disheveled homeless man walks into his office with an impossible claim—he's a human clone of the renowned scientist Dr. Nicodemus Daemonides, and he wants his estate back. Pete dismisses the story as delusion—until he starts digging into the evidence. Legal documents, DNA samples, and a mysterious government file called "R.A.D.I.C.A.L." suggest the impossible might be true.
But someone is willing to kill to keep this secret buried.
Teaming with Morgana O'Byrne, a brilliant younger attorney with her own secrets, Pete races against time to prove his client's identity before a ten-billion-dollar corporate deal makes the truth disappear forever. As bodies pile up and a conspiracy reaches from the streets of Manhattan to the highest levels of government, Pete must risk everything—his career, his newfound love, and his life—to give one man his day in court.
