Blind-Sided
Monette

Janet Ferran, cot
Jeanette LaFleur, newly graduated
and qualified as an ophthalmic technologist, starts her dream job
as Clinical Coordinator for the Epi Project. When she discovers
irregularities in record keeping for the project, she chalks it
up to her predecessors' lack of organization and sets about fixing
the problems.
But when she finds that records are missing or maybe never even
existed, she takes her concerns to her boss, Dr. Byron Rutherford,
the charismatic head of the project and a nationally renowned corneal
specialist. While he expresses his concern, he assures her that
it must all be a matter of poor record keeping and gives her carte
blanche to fix the problems.
Except the problems aren't easily fixed.
As she digs deeper with the help of her current boyfriend, lawyer
Charles Carter, and her deceased husband's best friend, Dr. Scott
Fontenot, she becomes convinced that the project is a front for
illegal activities. Medical negligence, fraud, and money laundering
are just the tip of the ice berg. It is when the trio discovers
that illegal body parts, and not just the corneas needed for the
Epi Project, are being brokered through a corporation owned by Dr.
Rutherford and a South American doctor that murder raises its ugly
head.
Now Jeanette is running for her life, as Scott endangers his by
traveling to Brazil to find enough evidence to convict the highly
esteemed Rutherford.
From the corrupt streets of New Orleans to the steamy plains and
jungles of Brazil, Blind-Sided twists and turns as torturously as
the snakes that swim the bayous of Louisiana.

About
Monette Michaels:
For the last twenty-three years, Monette
Michaels has been a lawyer practicing everything from criminal defense
to probate. A regular Renaissance lawyer. More recently, she gave
up trying to change the system and narrowed her practice to being
a professional neutral--which means she tries to help people solve
their problems before they go in front of a judge or jury. Her philosophy
is if you can't work within the system -- find a better system.
Aiding and abetting Monette in her life's goal of changing the world
is her Pathologist husband of thirty-one years and her teenage son
who is trying hard to be cool right now. They also own a large cat--or,
more accurately, he owns them. They're still trying to figure that
one out.
A life-long Hoosier, Monette currently lives in Carmel, Indiana,
a suburb of Indianapolis and has a smaller home in Austin, Texas,
in the Hill Country.
