Another top-notch novel from Mr. Martini! Literally, one does not know who the perpetrator of the murder is until the last or next to last chapter and it was a complete surprise. The suspense was great and even the usually boring court testimony was enough to put me on the edge of my seat and kept me from putting the book down. Paul Madriani and Harry Hinds inherit a case where the circumstantial evidence all points to their client but each time they try to do discovery, the door is closed due to "national security". I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
Excellent murder mystery with all of the suspense that you come to expect from Steve Martini.
