A Wilderness of Monkeys by Paige Mitchell

Was Dr. Jacques Gariura a dedicated, idealistic physician who was being victimized by his professional colleagues? Or was he a man intoxicated with his own power, with lurid personal secrets to conceal, and a terrible medical guilt to atone for?

In a dynamite-packed slander trial in a once-sleepy Southern town, two opposing ruthless and brilliant attorneys cut away the thin skin of respectability that covers the medical profession to expose the naked nerve endings of truth. Here is a searing spellbinder that bars nothing in its revelation of the lies that doctors can tell and the sins of the flesh and the spirit that they can commit.
