Burdens Of Proof

Description for BURDENS OF PROOF by Chester Oksner:

Peter Saunders is a doomed man. Exposed to lethal amounts of radiation during an accident at the Point Anacapa nuclear power plant, he has only a short time before the fatal dose catches up with him. But Saunders intends to fight---as long as he's alive---and becomes plaintiff in the case against Consolidated Utilities, the corporate giant that owns Anacapa.

Fighting the legal battle against Saunders is Samuel Coleridge Corbin, a young attorney whose job is on the line. Soon Corbin finds himself fighting the evil machinations of big business, money, and power. Can he risk his professional future and his personal happiness to discover the truth?

BURDERS OF PROOF is a triple whammy of a novel: a twisty, cleverly turned courtroom thriller, a stinging indictment of human greed, and a meaningful---often surprising---personal drama.
