Faith is a standalone novel by Peter James. Ross Ransom is the best in his field; one of the business’s most successful and unquestionably wealthiest plastic surgeons. It makes sense that such a man would expect his wife to be flawless. After all, he has performed enough surgeries to get her there. However, when his wife becomes ill, she abandons conventional medicine and her unhappy marriage to Ransom in favor of alternative medicine and a charismatic therapist who promises more than just medical relief. This is Ransom’s greatest act of betrayal. It defies logic, and Ross Ransom is a deeply logical individual who sees no reason why any man should have a wife if they are unable to do so. Ross Ransom is about to take a very rational, murderous, course of action.
