Book Description:
Paul Madriani is back!Members who requested this book also requested:
Having moved to San Diego to be closer to the woman in his life, Madriani takes on the case of Jonah Hale, an elderly man in dire straits. Because of the longtime drug addiction of their only child, Jessica, Jonah and his wife have been raising their eight-year-old granddaughter, Amanda. After Jonah wins a multi-million dollar state lottery, Jessica revives her interest in mothering. When Jonah won't deal - maternal rights for a megabucks payoff - Jessica pulls out all the stops.
Enter Zolonda Suade, a flamboyant feminist activist with a talent for making children and their "victimized" mothers disappear. When the next move turns deadly, Madriani finds himself drawn into a web of deceit and high-stakes action, in and out of the courtroom.
Rich with characters drawn from today's headlines, driven by motives both obvious and subtle, The Attorney marks the much-anticipated return of Paul Madriani.

*yawn* I'm tired! I stayed up till 1am finishing this book. It was so good!! Couldn't put it down. Once in the courtroom, the pace really picked up. I did figure out the who before the end, but not the why. This is my first book by this author and I really like him. Definitely want to read his others, especially those about Paul.

I love anything Steve Martini writes and his character Paul Madriani really is an appealing guy. His coutroom dramas are realistic, why not since Martini was a lawyer, and he always has enough twists and turns in his plots to keep you guessing about the outcome. This one is no exception...and abducted granddaughter, a drug-using daughter, a man-hating woman bent on calling the shots and murder to boot. You'll love it!!
Sharon C. (If you enjoy reading Steve Martini, you'll enjoy this book. Amazingly (to me, anyway), I guessed correctly who did the deed. Never did guess the "why", so do I get partial credit??
Bettye B. from CLARKSVILLE, TN wrote on 5/2/2007...Real page turner
Readers of courtroom thrillers know that Martini is perhaps the best and this book meets his standards. Starts fairly slow but picks up like a locomotive with a very surprise ending. You will like it.
STEVE D. from ROME, GA wrote on 4/7/2007...A wealthy man, Jonah, has his granddaughter kidnapped by his daughter. A woman is killed and Jonah is accused. Paul Madriani is set on a course to free Jonah although evidence is pointing directly at Jonah. As with all the Martini books I have read, there is a surprising twist at the end.
Andy P. from BARTLETT, TN wrote on 2/10/2007...I love Martini books, and I love Mandriani as a character. The Attorney has plenty of twists and turns, and Mandriani is as intelligent as ever. A must for Martini fans.
Well written, entertaining and an ending I did not expect. What more could you want!
Gail P. (Good page turner. Warning....do not start late at night because you will be late for work the next morning.
Nan M. from HUNTLEY, IL wrote on 7/8/2006...Legal thriller. A tight plot where all the elements dovetail at the end...twists and turns
