Is Richard Robinson insane? Or is the CIA really after him? Noah Baker is a smart young corporate lawyer with a bright future and a dry sense of humor. His biggest problems in life are negotiating his contentious divorce settlement, competing to make partner at his law firm, and fighting chronic boredom at his job. Then one day a strange, disturbing man from Noah's past appears in his office, asking Noah to bring a lawsuit against the CIA. Noah believes that the man is a paranoid schizophrenic, and does his best to distance himself from the man and his delusions. Before long, however, Noah is embroiled in a murder trial and fighting to stay afloat in a sea of troubles, his future threatened by dishonest lawyers, cynical cops, and the cold, hard grinding of the wheels of so-called justice. Without warning, Noah finds himself clinging to his sanity, and his freedom---for dear life. For Dear Life is a novel of legal suspense, with courtroom drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
