An unidentified young woman stabbed to death, the launching of a revolutionary new laser operation for nearsightedness, a hot new IPO on the NASDAQ, a mysterious blind vagrant in the ER. Nobody suspects these are linked -- except for New York City eye surgeon Jack Stegall and his medical student girlfriend, Gabrielle, who begin their own undercover investigation. When they blow the whistle, they find their own lives caught in a perilous race against time. Blind Ambition is a medical thriller, but also an insider's view of the world of impaired eyesight and laser eye surgery -- which offers readers a disturbing look at what may lurk behind high tech "miracles," and a larger understanding of what makes some modern doctors behave the way they do.
