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.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Read worse, read a lot better...passed the time when no other books available.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A perfectly serviceable courtroom thriller but nothing memorable.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pretty good one. I thought I had it figured out, but I definitely didn't. Good characters. Good plot. What's not to like?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Attorney 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.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I 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.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5One step above John Grisham. Not great, but worth the read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Lawyer 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.
