Parnassus, a healthcare provider, is on the edge of bankruptcy. Its CEO, Tim Markham, has just been killed. Two facts apparently not connected. But Eric Kensing, the doctor in charge when Markham died, is worried enough to ask lawyer Dismas Hardy to represent him.
He's right to be. He had many reasons to hate his boss, whose immediate cause of death was not the hit and run accident. Hardy knows that arrest or indictment would destroy Kensing's career. Some say it's not a career worth saving. For others Kensing was a special doctor who saved patients, defying the profit-obsessed Parnassus to do so.
And Parnassus is a rotten organisation, of that Hardy's sure, dogged by public scandal and hiding, he suspects, much more. Such as a string of unexpected deaths in intensive care . . .
Hardy knows he needs to earn his client thirty days' grace before he's called to testify before a grand jury, a testimony likely to result in Kensing's indictment. Thirty days in which Hardy must find out who really murdered Markham. And maybe very many others too . . .
