When her husband Ben jumped to his death in 1964, Rachel Gordon struggled to discover why. Why would a healthy man with a loving family and successful career decide to end his life? His second child was about to be born, and he appeared to love his life. Why indeed?
Inspiration for this work of fiction came from real stories and shocking details of the CIA’s MKUltra program that subjected citizens to mind control experiments without their knowledge or informed consent. Rachel’s quest to discover what drove her husband to such a desperate act eventually leads to government cover-ups that lasted for decades, and continue to resonate in today's headlines.
