Alan Jacobson has created the year's most gripping page turner, a suspense masterpiece powered by stunning twists. With intensely real characters and details drawn from Jacobson's first-hand medical and legal expertise, False Accusations is a tale of deadly revenge--where the assurance of "innocent until proven guilty" is not what it seems.

Dr. Phillip Madison has everything: wealth, power, and an impeccable reputation. Then, in the dark hours before dawn in a quiet suburb of Sacramento, California, the respected orthopedic surgeon is charged with double homicide--a cold blooded hit and run that has left an innocent young couple dead. Blood evidence has brought the authorities to his door. An eyewitness has placed him at the scene of the crime. And Madison has no alibi.

Freeing himself from the closing jaws of justice isn't Madison's only struggle. The arrest has shaken the tenuous faith of his wife Leeza, his friends, and his colleagues. Even his attorney, facing overwhelming odds, has his doubts--until Madison's total disclosure leads to the gravest of suspicions: that Madison is not only the prime suspect in the brutal murder; he is also the prime target of a mysterious eyewitness, a seductive woman whose past has branded her a victim as well, and who has set in motion a chilling and malicious scheme. But to unveil her motives means exposing Madison's own startling secrets.

As Madison's privileged world unravels, his last hope means crossing the precarious line between good and evil, right and wrong, guilt and innocence--by revealing a truth at the heart of a lie. And it could cost him more than he ever imagined. For Dr. Phillip Madison, justice has become the most dangerous ideal of all.

From the opening sentence to the final verdict, False Accusations delivers a one-two punch of shock and surprise. It is a powerful psychological thriller that resonates long after the last page is turned.
