Dante's Dilemma: A Mark Angelotti Novel

By Lynne Raimondo

Blind psychiatrist Mark Angelotti is faced with his most troubling case yet when he is asked to evaluate Rachel Lazarus, the estranged wife of a slain University of Chicago professor.
 
Months earlier, the professor’s body was found stuffed into one of the exhibits at “Scav,” the school’s world-famous annual scavenger hunt, and – in a feast for the press – missing a vital piece of its anatomy. Though she’s confessed to her husband’s murder, Rachel is mounting a battered woman’s defense.
 
Forced into helping the prosecution, Mark becomes unsure of his objectivity when his investigation uncovers uncomfortable parallels between Rachel’s history and his own. That concern proves well-founded when his damaging admission at trial all but convicts Rachel. Then a tip connects the case to another suspected murder and evidence that Rachel may not be guilty after all. As he plows ahead during a brutal Chicago winter, Mark soon learns he has far more to worry about than treacherous snow and ice:  someone will do anything to guarantee that Rachel takes the fall.

Reviews for Dante's Dilemma

[beamis12 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Always like reading novels that are set where I live or have lived. In this case Chicago, so many of the places I was very familiar wit. This is an exceptionally well written book, the character Mark Angelotti, a psychiatrist who is blind, a very interesting man, flawed with a history. Good story, good plot, good location, of course I am prejudiced, and an interesting first book in a new series.
