While drying out in an Arizona alcohol rehabilitation center, J.P. Beaumont becomes the prime suspect in his roommate's death, and Beaumont must fight to clear his name.
Philosophy can be intriguing--and at times baffling. It deals with the central problems of the human condition--with important questions of free will, morality, life after death, the limits of logic and reason--though often in rather esoteric terms.
