The explosive new thriller from the "New York Times" bestselling author
of "Undue Influence"
An unlikely defense...
Judge Armando "the Coconut" Acosta is arrested on charges of soliciting
a prostitute in a sting operation for "johns, " and few, including
attorney Paul Madriani, who has a long history of enmity with the judge,
are sympathetic. When the young female decoy who snared the judge is
found brutally murdered, Acosta is the prime suspect.
Abandoned by his friends, Acosta asks Paul to save his career from
impending doom. Paul is reluctant, but when Acosta's original defense
lawyer is forced off the case by a zealous district attorney looking for
revenge, Paul steps forward to defend the judge. With his client now
charged with murder, Paul faces the most daunting, disturbing, and
complex case of his career.
Packed with nonstop drama and a cast of richly drawn characters that
have come to be Steve Martini's trademark, "The Judge" delivers a
decisive thumbs-up verdict.
