Publisher Description

Lawyer Paul Madriani is called on to defend a brilliant research physician - who just may be a killer - in the most daunting capital case of Madriani's career.

Paul Madriani has ample reason to suspect he's representing a guilty man. Dr. David Crone, a respected medical researcher and principal in mapping the human genome, is charged with the murder of a young colleague: Kalista Jordan, an African-American research physician whose dismembered body was found in a nearby bay.

Madriani's defense is hindered by the secrecy surrounding Crone's research - which has involved his controversial use of genetic racial profiling. The murdered woman had filed charges of sexual harassment against Crone. Paul is left to piece together a defense while Crone and his colleagues conceal parts of the puzzle.

When a key witness for the prosecution ends up dead, Crone's acquittal is all but assured. Paul's nagging doubts concerning his client are answered with a stunning revelation and a shattering climax.

"A better than average murder mystery/courtroom drama tale. Probably closer to a 3.5, but worth reading. This is one of several S. Martini books involving the lawyer Paul Madriani and his lawyer sidekick, Harry. Reasonably good character and plot development. "

    " I don't think I'll read another Steve Martini novel. For one thing, the author's conservative politics shine through in some of the comments made by the protagonist, attorney Paul Madriani. For another, there are plot holes that you could drive a hummer through. And for yet another, much of what is there seems decidedly implausible, especially certain elements of the ending. And all of that is without mentioning the writing, which is full of cliche. So, no more, please. "
