He Said, She Said — John Decure

For state prosecutor Bradlee Aames, psychosis is a fact of life, a waking nightmare from which modern medicine's soulless jargon and mind-numbing meds have offered little relief. Bradlee stays focused by winning trial after trial, even while she's self-medicating with booze, dope, and midnight surfing sessions at a classic LA point break. But when a thick fog of delusions engulfs her, she blows a case, and her reputation and competence are called into question. To rehabilitate her career, her boss gives her an easy assignment: Dr. Don, a popular TV shrink and former state Medical Board expert, now stands accused of sexually exploiting a vulnerable female patient, yet the broken woman won't testify. If Bradlee can settle the matter quietly, the board, avoiding further embarrassment, will be pleased. But Bradlee Aames doesn't do things the easy way -- not when a predator like Dr. Don is primed to debase more helpless women.

Illusive LA is the gritty, sun-blasted setting for "He Said, She Said," a thrilling story of trust, betrayal, truth, and deception. Told from multiple perspectives, it affords the reader a front-row seat to a tense legal battle while exploring the many human consequences of power and corruption.
