Stunningly beautiful
psychic Sherry Moore's world has been draped in darkness for as long as
she can remember. Though she has been blind since childhood, her
extraordinary gift for seeing the last eighteen seconds of a deceased
person's memory has helped solve numerous crimes and save countless
lives. Her life has been anything but normal, but because of her
relationship with Brian Metcalf, the Navy SEAL she met during a dramatic
rescue on Mount McKinley, Sherry has never been happier. Then her
exposure to deadly radiation changes everything. Unnerved about the
radiation's possible aftereffects and suffering from optical migraines,
Sherry checks herself into the hospital to undergo tests. All seems
normal until they wheel in the body of one Thomas Monahan. Vivid,
terrifying images from his memory flood her thoughts the moment she
grasps his hand. She feels a connection take hold as she thrashes about
on the gurney, finally letting out a bloodcurdling scream. When Sherry
next opens her eyes, for the first time in thirty-two years, she can
see. They call it a miracle. But for Sherry life with sight
proves to be more complicated. She has to navigate the world anew,
troubled by the agonizing, unanswered question: Who was this man and how
had he enabled her to regain her vision? Enlisting the help of retired
Admiral Garland Brigham, her confidant and best friend, Sherry doggedly
begins to unravel this complicated history and unearths some startling
revelations, beginning with the work of Edward Case. Case is a
man used to getting his way. The CEO of pharmaceutical giant Case &
Kimble, he has the nation's elite on speed dial. But unsettling rumors
have circulated for years about the genesis of the company's
stratospheric success, questioning how this upstart firm has gained
prominence and grown to be a monolithic institution worth billions of
dollars. How its drugs always seem to make it onto the market before
those of its competitors. If the secrets to C&K's dominance are ever
made public, they will destroy the empire Case has so carefully
constructed. And he will stop at nothing to keep his domain intact. Flush with pounding action and shocking twists, Second Sight
is the riveting story of an astounding heroine who, in delving into the
darkest corners of the pharmaceutical trade, risks her life to set
right an injustice buried deep in the past. Views: 5
