Another intense story; about a sociopath person out to make life fall apart for Attorney Sam Trask and his family. It wasn't a pleasant story line, but the author did a great job of making it seem very real.

Sam Trask thinks he has his life in order now that his dark days of drinking and all-consuming ambition have been given over to his Christian faith. But things will slowly start to unravel when an old college student seeks to gain access into his life. First his daughter goes off the deep end and wants to leave home and pursue her band and singing and wants nothing to do with her parents and their rules. Sam's job will suffer because of all his distractions and he will finally have to leave his law office. But the one constant is the way this man keeps showing up in Sam's life and causing disaster. It will climax in him taking their daughter and Sam having to on his own take off after her. As the title states, there is 'no legal grounds' to take this man down, so how far will Sam go to rescue his daughter and get rid of this mentally disturbed man. And just when you think the story is over, its not. ( )

Sam Trask is a successful lawyer, but a crazed sociopath who has a "fix" on him, will not let go. The efforts of the police and the law do not help much, so Sam is on his own. The lengths to which this person goes to destroy his life are hard to believe unless you have dealt with a sociopath yourself. Eye-opening and life changing plot.
