Search - Double Tap

I loved this book & read it on vacation - couldn't put it down. Steve Martini writes this one in first person and wastes no time moving the plot along. It's set in La Jolla, CA, with a defendant who is a trained killer - but I won't ruin it for you. I loved a good Grisham-style legal thriller - and this one had it all. Enjoy.

Generally speaking, my two favorite legal thriller authors are John Grisham and David Baldacci (when he writes one) with Perri O'Shaughnessy (pen name for a set of twins) a distant third. I now have a new number two with Steve Martini.
Double Tap is an entirely plausible story about a retired Delta Force soldier who is accused of murder. Some of the elements of the story are the shenanigans of defense contractors, military/national intelligence agencies and massive amounts of money that form a lethal mix. Mr. Martini has served as a lawyer and a judge. I think he gives us an eagle-eye view of the legal system and it's population that is at once cynical and humorous too. A breath of fresh air for the genre. A good read.

I'm not a real fan of Martini, having read only 3 of his books but this one is my least favorite. Story is set in the courtroom and is full of "legalese."

Very Good and an easy read+
