Synopsis

From a forgotten Pennsylvania steel mill town, to a revered cosmetic surgeon in Scottsdale, Arizona. A client list that once included world renowned athletes, models, actors, and even Royal family members from the Middle East.

A pioneer in the art of tumescent liposuction surgery and clinical professor of Midwestern University. Dr. Locnikar had achieved the pinnacle of success in his chosen profession and thus awarded all the luxuries of life.

Once named Cosmopolitan Magazine "Most Eligible Bachelor". It appeared he had achieved the "American Dream", but a dark secret was about to be revealed that would lead to unimaginable destruction.

From Hollywood to underworld terror, the reader will experience how a respected physician struggled with his inability to except his addiction through a "dual existence". The book will shock you and at times make the reader laugh and cry, but, in the end ponder the question: "Could this happen to me?"
