Terrific! kwldco Love these Madriani novels. This was intelligent and witty. The characters are so believable. You're certain you know "who done it", but the story keeps twisting so you have to think again.. JL said One of my favorites!. The Paul Madriani series is one of my favorites. Read in sequence, they are smart and compelling. Always surprising and always wonderfully told. I've read the entire series twice. Love it!. Lily Jensen said this version for my father who blows through books super fast and needs new authors to consider. I read this book decades ago and bought this version for my father who blows through books super fast and needs new authors to consider. Steve Martini is a wonderful writer!
Paul, who narrates in the present tense, as he has other Martini novels, once again proves a sophisticated, good-humored hero who tells a suspenseful tale, right up to the perfectly satisfying climax. Even the loose ends he trails behind feel right. Assistant DA Lenore Goya, whom Paul hankers after, is fired by DA Coleman Kline and crosses lines to head up Acosta's defense; Coleman pursues the judge with unexpected ferocity.

Judge Armando Acosta is busted for soliciting an undercover vice operative; perhaps not coincidentally, the autocratic judge currently is in charge of a grand jury probing possible police cover-up of murder.
