Book Spotlight: Driscoll's Eye by John Russo

When an Egyptian seer’s orb is implanted to replace Marty Driscoll’s blinded right eye, its mystical powers alter his personal and professional life forever …………….

One life-altering moment occurred when Marty Driscoll, Yale’s star quarterback was severely beaten by Carmine Brocco a small time hood. As a result, Marty was blind in his right eye. His footloose roommate Todd Hamilton swiped an Egyptian seer’s orb from his Archaeology class and convinced Marty to have it inserted instead of a glass prosthesis. No longer able to play ball, Marty decided he must do something more meaningful with his life. He transferred to Harvard law secretly vowing to seek justice for what Brocco had done to him. While working summers in security in his father’s mall he started to experience weird sensations in his implanted eye. It was there he also met Sara Jenkins and they fell in love. When he passed the bar Marty was assigned to the New Haven States Attorney’s office. Meanwhile the strange sensations in his eye continued to occur. It was after Sara was killed by a stray bullet that he became more determined to see that those who mindlessly harmed others were punished. He finally discovered that the strange orb in his eye would guide him in that endeavor.
