The Best Revenge

But Gregory has two new patients who will drag him out of his introspection–and dare him to enter a storm of
injustice and revenge.

FBI special agent Kelda James is a hero, a woman who as a rookie agent made a choice, drew her gun, and saved a life, taking another.

Then Kelda refers a patient to Gregory, who is terrifyingly dangerous to them both.
