Publisher Description

“Steve Martini ranks among the top authors of legal thrillers.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“You like Law & Order? Or even a John Grisham novel? Well, Steve Martini is one of the best of the best when it comes to crime thrillers.” —Asbury Park Press

The reasons why Steve Martini is one of the most popular thriller writers around are abundantly clear in Trader of Secrets: an ingenious plot, great characters, gripping storytelling that combines the legal expertise of John Lescroart, Brad Meltzer, and Scott Turow with the heart-pounding political intrigue of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor. Superstar crime novelist Linda Fairstein says, “Take it from a prosecutor—Steve Martini has created one of the most charismatic defense attorneys in thriller fiction,” referring to Martini’s fearless yet very human series protagonist, defense attorney Paul Madriani. In Trader of Secrets the crusading lawyer is on the trail of dangerous criminals who are trying to steal state-of-the-art weapons technology…with nothing less than the future of America at stake.

"This is the sequel to 'The Rule of Nine'. I liked this story, it was fast paced and interesting having Herman Diggs, Sarah, Harry, Joselyn, & Paul Madriani all involved and it was hard to put down. Now, hopefully Madriani can get back in the court room where he belongs. Madriani is a lawyer not a spy or terrorist tracker. Steve Martini writes great court room drama and I like that better than the far out tales of improbable events."

Quotes

  • “Martini offers plenty of near misses and a few surprises…Those who have followed the Muerte Liquida story arc over the past two books will be most satisfied.” 

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “The dialogue is snappy yet believable, and the relationships between Madriani and Hinds and between Madriani and Cole are deep and meaningful without being sentimental. Fans of globe-trotting legal thrillers will find Martini’s suspenseful, high-stakes, high-octane adventure to be a page-turning must-read.”  

    — Booklist
  • “Dan Woren has a rich voice and fine acting skills. He uses tonal differences to make each character readily recognizable.”

    " Fast, page turner. A great pool book. I am not sure how a law firm ended up chasing murderers across the globe for about 3 books...but it works. "

    " Probably the previous book explained why Paul, Harry, and Herman were seeking out the assassin named Liquida. At any rate, their business is in financial straits as they chase him around numerous countries, while Paul's daughter Sarah, now grown with a memorable dog, gets to sit around in a safe house, first taking care of Herman, who almost died at the hands of Liquid. Oh, Paul's squeeze, Joselyn Cole also joins the team. It is somewhat exciting, but even in a suspense tale, the good guys ALMS always survive. "

    " Read this book on the way home from Betsy's. Good spy stuff. Didn't realize it was the 12th in this series. I'll have to go back and see which books I've read of Mr. Martini's. Lots of action and intrigue and some good story lines that kept it moving. "

    " It's an easy read, but the plot is terrible ... lots of really, really, really dumb twists ... 4 hours of my life are gone, and I want them back! I'm surprised that the book has any good ratings. "

    — Matt, 12/24/2013
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This is a fast-paced novel that spans three continents. The premise of the book sounds like something from Star Trek, but believable because so many of the ideas in sci-fi are now possible. The action is fast, but bringing a young girl and a dog to the final,inevitable knife fight is not credible. "

    — Marcia, 12/22/2013
  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " Well, as an author of decent law books, Martini is pretty good. Like Baldacci however, when he strays into action adventure, he pretty much reduces himself to being a B author. A wild yarn populated by unlikely heroes and its not even an interesting way to while away a holiday Sunday. "

    " A good finish to the trilogy. DO NOT read this book if you have not read Guardian of Lies or Rule of Nine . Now hopefully the author gets back to courtroom dramas. "

    " Part of an ongoing series. I liked this one because it ended. So there was a bit of question in the beginning what was happening, but it was an enjoyable book. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " The early Paul Madriani books were stellar. The last few not so much. I'm longing for a good ol' courtroom thriller that puts John Grisham to shame, like The Judge, Undue Influence, and Double Tap. No more espionage please. Paul is a lawyer, not a spy. "

    " This book was a little far reaching but interesting and fun. It would have received 5 stars if Martini would learn to use a larger vocabulary to express emotion other than f-words. "

    " Good plot and well-paced action. You have to suspend your disbelief more than usual in this book that includes the ultimate small world experience for its scenes. Dialog between characters is stiff and I wanted to skip it often. "

    " I love Steve Martini's writing and especially his particularly snide characters. They show off best in smaller plots - not this kind of world domination. So, even thought this was good, it wasn't as much fun to read as Madriani's run ins with local colorful characters. "
