Sequel to the award-winning novel The Chicago Healer.

The adventures of Lucas Stephens continue. Lucas escapes to Africa to avoid the plot against his life by his former pharmaceutical boss Caesar Alexander. There he fights a ruthless mobster in an effort to supernaturally heal orphans and other destitute people. Together with Tabitha Samos, a reporter with whom Lucas shares a secret past failed relationship, they discover that Caesar may be involved in a medical conspiracy that could threaten the lives of millions. They reunite with recovering street person Jake Rubenstein and theologian Edgar Sardisan in Las Vegas to battle Caesar who is about to open the world’s largest casino.

Together they secure the help of a Vegas waitress with a troubled history and a paranoid gambliing addict who has an uncanny ability to predict the future.

Against impossible odds, Lucas must face his past, control his fears, and lead his rogue team in an effort to survive in the ‘city of change’ and challenge Caesar’s corrupt empire.
