Book excerpt: While trying to heal from the death of his wife, Fred Porter suddenly realizes that the pain of his loss keeps growing relentlessly in the form of nightmares. The bizarre nature of these nightmares leads him to ask Judge Lundgren to reopen the case and exhume the body for further investigation. Porter embarks on a perilous journey that will lead him to uncover the existence of a secret institution funded by corporate America to do neuro-genetic research on women for the sole purpose of understanding what it is that drives them to fight for equality in society today. Porter follows the trail of this secret institution with the help of "Silent Whispers," a phenomenon that comes to him as his wife endures the unthinkable in a remote laboratory. Throughout Porter's search, the institution employs a demented fanatic named Kiegler to stop him. Kiegler leaves a trail of human destruction as he hunts down Fred Porter. With corporate America's conspiracy unraveled, Porter is capable of restoring his faith in the beauty of life through understanding himself and giving up for the good of others.
