Switchback
Dr. Richard Sobel specializes in the HICOP Procedure - a process that involves swapping bodies with patients, diagnosing their medical problem and carrying out recovery.
He leads a charmed life – handsome, in demand and wealthy. This all changes when an issue occurs during a routine contract. Soon he finds himself accused of multiple murders, cut off from his family, and on the run from the law in an unhealthy body that is not his own.
Richard is sure someone orchestrated his downfall – but no one believes him. The quest to prove his innocence takes him from the heights of luxury to the lows of homelessness – and across an enormous City filled with corruption and mystery. His path will eventually lead to a man long thought dead - the renowned creator of technology that changed the world, who also holds the key to his redemption.

Switchback could be considered a study in the human condition. Unprecedented success, fame and celebrity. Somewhere there is a line between becoming the best at something through hard work and striving for excellence and becoming contemptuous of anyone who can not attain that level of excellence.
Switchback is a fast paced romp through a near future city based on a murder with the most complicated twist. Throughout we find out if a man who has been trained his whole life to be the best, to be better than the rest, can rediscover his empathy in time.
