The Supreme Court is one of our most sacred—and secretive—public institutions. But sometimes secrets can lead to cover-ups with very deadly consequences.Terry Scarborough is a legal scholar and provocateur who craves headline-making celebrity, but with his latest book he may have gone too far. In...
The Arraignment (2003)
"Lean, speedy and packing a wallop of a plot twist" was Publishers Weekly's verdict of Steve Martini's The Jury. Now Martini crafts yet another legal nail-biter featuring perennial favorite attorney Paul Madriani. After a lawyer friend is killed along with his client in a hail of gunfire outside ...

The Jury (2002)
THIS SUMMARY/REVIEW WAS COPIED FROM OTHER SOURCES AND IS USED ONLY AS A REMINDER OF WHAT THE BOOK WAS ABOUT FOR MY PERSONAL INTEREST. ANY PERSONAL NOTATIONS ARE FOR MY RECOLLECTION ONLYPersonal note:Having a hard time keeping my interest on this one and all the techno stuff, however, I stuck with...
The Attorney (2001)
Slow to get going, long wait til surprise ending; fair drama...This is our third Martini -- er, the author's books that is. We enjoyed "Simeon Chamber" (his first outing), but felt the "List" was too dry and set too sluggish a pace for our taste. We tried the "Attorney" to see if the defense atto...
The Judge (2001)
Strong plot + annoying writing habits = 4 stars The Judge is my second Martini book (the first as an audiobook) and I am almost embarrassed to say that I really liked it. I didn't realize that I was such a literary elitist (especially if you looked at the stuff I've reviewed) but deep-down insid...
Undue Influence (1995)
MADRIANI FOR THE DEFENSEIt's been quite awhile since I read a really good courtroom drama and, revisiting Steve Martini's recurring character, Paul Madriani, was the perfect way to get back into the melee. Since I refer to myself as a RIO, (someone who reads series "in the order in which they wer...
Compelling Evidence (1993)
If you like a riveting courtroom thriller, than Steve Martini is an author for you. The characters, especially Paul Madriani, are well-developed and the plot is complex but simple enough to understand. The story is written in 1st person from Madriani's perspective and seems to be well-researche...
Double Tap (2005)
"Tak perlu tipuan untuk melakukan tembakan beruntun yang dikenal dengan tembakan ganda atau double tap. Kuncinya adalah menembak tepat sasaran dengan peluru pertama. Kau tak perlu mengatur bidikan lagi untuk tembakan kedua. Kau hanya perlu mengaturnya sekali dan menarik pelatuknya dua kali bertur...
Trader Of Secrets (2011)
Very disappointing book for Steve Martini. I got the sense that he was bound by a certain number of words in his contract. All of the backstory behind the terrorist plot with asteroids was so convoluted and bloated, I began to skim through it. Martini is at his best when he has Modriani narrat...
Guardian of Lies (2009)
Guardians of Lies is not Steve Martini's typical Paul Madriani courtroom drama/thriller, but instead, an international mix (terrorist/post-cold war/Mexican cartel/paid assassin) thriller. Despite the change in genre (which might dismay those who prefer the courtroom drama) - it was still a fast p...
