About this audiobook

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: twenty-six-year-old Kalista Jordan, an African-American research physician whose body washed up on a beach in San Diego Bay. Forensic evidence links her murder with material in Crone's garage. Crone had both opportunity and motive: Kalista had recently ended their affair, and may have been deserting him professionally as well, moving on to a rival genetic research facility. However, when a key witness for the prosecution dies unexpectedly, leaving an incriminating note behind, Crone's innocence seems confirmed-until Madriani hits upon a potentially damning loose end.

    Pretty good one. I thought I had it figured out, but I definitely didn't. Good characters. Good plot. What's not to like?

    Attorney Paul Madriani has ample reason to suspect he's representing a guilty man. Dr David Crone is charged with the murder of his colleague: Kalista Jordan whose body washed up on a beach in San Diego Bay. When a key witness for the prosecution dies unexpexctedly it seems the case may be closed.

    I like a good trashy legal thriller as much as anyone, but this was disappointing. A blurb on the back cover claimed "The suspense here is excruciating" but they must have been reading another book.

    One step above John Grisham. Not great, but worth the read.

    Lawyer Paul Madriani is defending geneticist Dr David Crone in the murder of fellow researcher Kalista Jordan. Kalista was brutally killed with a plastic binding and dismembered and all the evidence points back to Dr. Cone. I found the book to be unbelievable at many points and simply a way to get to build up to the end twist.
