Book Description:
Lawyer Paul Madriani is called on to defend a brilliant research physician -- who just may be a killer -- in the most daunting capital case of Madriani's career.
Paul Madriani has ample reason to suspect he's representing a guilty man. Dr. David Crone, a respected medical researcher and principal in mapping the human genome, is charged with the murder of a young colleague: Kalista Jordan, an African-American research physician whose dismembered body was found in a nearby bay.
Madriani's defense is hindered by the secrecy surrounding Crone's research -- which has involved his controversial use of genetic racial profiling. The murdered woman had filed charges of sexual harassment against Crone. Paul is left to piece together a defense while Crone and his colleagues conceal parts of the puzzle.
When a key witness for the prosecution ends up dead, Crone's acquittal is all but assured. Paul's nagging doubts concerning his client are answered with a stunning revelation and a shattering climax.

Carol N. from JAMESTOWN, CA wrote on 8/19/2006...A real who-done-it.
This was about Dr.Crone who is accused of murdering his colleague, Kalista Jordan. He is accused of murdering her because she accused him of sexual harassment. Paul Madriani is defending Crone. The trial is not going their way. Too much circumstancial against Crone. Madriani knows Crone because he asked him to help friends of his who’s daughter has Huntington’s Chorea. Crone is a scientist who does genetic research. Again, as stated in other comments regarding Martini’s books, I like them because he is great at explaining legal jargon in layman’s terms. The book is pretty good at keeping you in the dark as to the “whodunit”. You can figure it out if you pay attention. I liked this one
